Exciting New Information About Earning Graduate Credit
CMR Institute is proud to provide our students additional opportunities to leverage completed CMR coursework to pursue a graduate degree. We continue to work with the American Council on Education (ACE) to have our courses rigorously evaluated for graduate-level credit recommendations that may be transferred toward a master's degree program.
We are pleased to announce that during our most recent ACE review, the number of courses receiving graduate credit recommendation increased and, in most cases, the number of credits earned per course also increased. This is a significant student benefit that will enable students to earn credit toward a graduate degree more quickly and economically.
As of September 2006, 29 courses offer a graduate-level supplement. Like other CMR Institute courses, the graduate-level supplement constitutes an objectives-oriented, self-directed, instructional learning experience with expert-designed materials and clear performance expectations. In addition, graduate-level courses provide opportunities to reflect on the skills and knowledge being learned and to submit written assignments that will challenge students to apply course content to personally relevant situations. The final course exam also provides an opportunity to demonstrate skills reflecting a deeper level of understanding related to the course content.
The courses with graduate supplements include new assessment and evaluative criteria, as well as the following course requirements:
1. The regular CMR Certification exam
2. Two writing assignments
3. A case-based, multiple-choice final exam consisting of 15 to 25 questions
Students interested in pursuing an advanced degree utilizing ACE recommended graduate credits from CMR Institute will need to register and complete both the graduate level supplement, which is a 5000-level course, as well as the regular course. More details regarding courses and credits may be found at: http://www.cmrinstitute.org/students/ace_credit_approval.htm
