1.
Apply by filling out two applications: 1) a Sonoma State University
application and designating ITDS as the program you are applying
to, and 2) the ITDS Masters Application. 2.
You may want to meet with the graduate coordinator before applying
to see if ITDS is right for you. 3.
After being accepted to the University, meet with the ITDS coordinator
to discuss the proposal process. 4.
In your second or third semester of taking classes at SSU you
should submit your program proposal. This will give you time to
become more informed about your subject matter and make some connections
with SSU faculty who may be interested in working with you as
a chair or committee member. The proposal must be submitted before
half of the units in the proscribed program are completed. 5.
Once your program proposal has been accepted you primarily work
with your committee to define the requirements for completion
of your degree. If you are taking ITDS 499 or ITDS 599A &
599B your committee determines the requirements for your culminating
project and the method of evaluation. 6.
As you near the end of your program you must submit the Completion
of Requirements form, signed by the ITDS coordinator, to Admissions
and Records.

ITDS
is unique in that students are first accepted into the program
and then in their second or third semester they are asked to submit
a Program Proposal outlining the course of study that will be
their ITDS degree. It is not until this Program Proposal is approved
that the classes the student identifies as part of their program
will officially count towards their degree. This is one of the
many reasons student need to submit the proposal before they have
completed half of the units in their program.
The
first step in applying to the ITDS program is to apply for admission
to the Sonoma State University. Admission criteria is a minimum
GPA of 3.0 and the student's program can be organized around a
topic or a cross-disciplinary inquiry that is original and involves
course work in more than one department. It is a good idea to
meet with the
ITDS coordinator before applying to determine whether the
program is right for you. For application filing dates and other
admissions information go the Admissions
and Records site. Applications for the
Fall semester close the last day of March and for the Spring semester
the last day of October.
