The timeline depends on your program and how many courses you take. CSU Global master’s programs typically require 30 or 36 credits.

A graduate specialization is a focused set of four courses (12 credits) included within a master’s degree. It lets you pair your primary field of study with a complementary or different focus—from artificial intelligence and machine learning to project management, finance, population health, and more. Available options vary by program.

No. Specialization courses count toward the credits already required for your master’s degree, so adding one does not increase the total credits needed to graduate. It gives you a way to tailor part of your program without lengthening your degree.
