<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Students admitted to the MS7260 under the old guidance may choose to switch to the new guidelines and pursue the program MS7260 requirements as stipulated above for a specific tract.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Students should review their current PoS on file and make sure they are error-free resulting from the transition between two different MS7260 program guidelines. Please consult with the Grad Chair’s office if you have questions. Thank you.<o:p></o:p></p>
