Master's Degrees
Registering as an MA (classified graduate status) requires acceptance into a graduate program, a complicated, competitive process obligating you to complete a 2-3 year curriculum, including research and written thesis. Most SFSU graduate programs have application deadlines of February 1 for admission the following Fall. This route is suitable for pre-health students who are willing to invest considerable time into gaining laboratory research experience. Many health profession schools will not allow accepted students to matriculate if they indicated that they were enrolled in a master's program at the time of application but have not yet completed their master's degree.
