Online Master's Program
Program Overview
The online master's program is conducted in four stages: Course study, Examination, Project writing, and Defense. After completing the professional and elective courses, students take a qualifying examination. A score of 70% or higher is required to pass. Successful students are then granted the right to write a project, and a supervising faculty member is assigned. The ICEC develops and approves a calendar schedule for each step leading up to the defense.
