The Center's Master's Degree program was first offered in Durango, CO, in the fall of 1997. Anyone interested in pursuing the MA in Durango should contact the Center's Director. The format and requirements of the Durango-based program are the same as those of the Denver-based program. Current tuition for each course is $1,087 with minimal fees; however, this is subject to change. See curriculum information for proposed course schedule for the current cohort.

Adhering to this schedule will enable a student who began the program in Fall 2009 to complete the Master's Program in the Summer 2011 semester. Remember, each student needs to take the five Core courses (including Research Methods), four Electives, and the Master's Project Independent Study (graduate credits transferred in from another school will count toward Electives credits).
