# CRTP and MSCR Curriculum #### **CRTP** The CRTP curriculum requires students to take a total of 26 credits throughout the Fall, Spring I and Spring II terms. Students should refer to the [Clinical Research Education Program’s Blackboard page](https://learn.mssm.edu/webapps/blackboard/content/listContentEditable.jsp?content_id=_77646_1\&course_id=_779_1) to review the CRTP course checklist for the year in which they matriculated. All courses must be completed in the sequence in which they appear on the checklist. #### **MSCR** The MSCR program requires a total of 38 credits (32-33 credits of coursework, and 5-6 Master’s Thesis Credits), to be taken over the course of two years. MSCR students are expected to complete 24-27 credits of coursework in the first year. In the second year, students take the remainder of their required coursework and complete the Master’s Thesis (CLR0001), for which they earn 5-6 credits. MSCR students may choose one of three designated courses (CRL0610, CLR0301 or CLR0008) to fulfill the elective degree requirement. Any exceptions must be reviewed by the program directors. Students should refer to the [Clinical Research Education Program’s Blackboard page](https://learn.mssm.edu/webapps/blackboard/content/listContentEditable.jsp?content_id=_77646_1\&course_id=_779_1) to review the MSCR course checklist for the year in which they matriculated.
