Fall quarter is preceded by a one-week orientation program and
a four-week review session. Regular academic quarters are ten
weeks long followed by a one-week final exam period and a break.
Students register for three or four courses (12-16 quarter hours)
each quarter as scheduled in their individual education plans.
With department approval, Educational Plans may be amended during
the course of study as long as program requirements are met.
The nominal six-quarter master's program consists of 72 quarter

thesis. Thesis topics are normally selected during the first
quarter or early in the second quarter. Research and writing
are accomplished during the third through sixth quarters.
Scholarships and Stipends
The
Dayton Area Graduate Studies Institute, DAGSI, is an educational
consortium composed of AFIT, Wright State University (WSU)
and the University of Dayton (UD). The purpose of DAGSI is
to provide a mechanism to utilize the combined faculty, research,
and resource strengths of the three schools, encouraging collaboration
and allowing a great deal of latitude for civilian and military
students to craft educational programs for both masters degrees
and PhDs. To earn a degree, the DAGSI student must fulfill
the requirements of his/her "home school," yet is
free to enroll in courses from the other schools and solicit
participating faculty members to be part of the research committee.
Details on the DAGSI program can be obtain from the the DAGSI web
site. Information on other scholarship opportunities and research
grants may be obtained at the following site: http://www.afit.edu/en/Prospective.cfm
