Master of Mass Customized Learning
The future of education lies in information and empowerment. More and more, schools are exploring an educational system where learners and professionals are engaged and the student is at the center of learning. Industrial-age education models based on mass learning—25 students, one teacher, where time is constant and learning is variable—are no longer meeting the needs of students. Wilson’s Master of Mass Customized Learning program prepares educators to create a system that listens to students, provides choice in learning modes and offers variety in path and pace, based on individual needs.
Individuals completing this program will be prepared to:
- Promote a vision of education that is intrinsically motivating.
- Create and put into practice a vision of instructional delivery that replaces the current outmoded model.
- Engage in a dialogue about how to make education more exciting and compelling.
- Move education from an industry model to a professional model.

Academic Probation and Dismissal from the Master of Mass Customized Learning Program
Graduate students must maintain a 3.0 grade-point average. If the GPA falls below 3.0 or a grade of C is received in any course, the student will be placed on academic probation. A student may be dismissed from the program if an academic probation extends beyond the completion of nine semester hours or the student receives two course grades of C or lower or one course grade of F at any time during their graduate studies at Wilson. All students in the MMCL program are subject to the Wilson College Honor Principle, academic and administrative regulations and the Wilson College judicial process.
Time Limit to Complete Degree
All coursework and degree requirements must be completed within six years of taking the first class in MMCL program at Wilson. Appeals for extension of the six-year limit must be submitted in writing to the director of the MMCL program.
Leave Of Absence
A leave of absence for a graduate student may not exceed one year. See complete description regarding applying for a leave of absence and termination of a leave of absence in the Academic Policies and Procedures section of this catalog.
Graduation Requirements
The successful degree candidate will complete 10 courses (minimum of 30 semester hours), including a master’s project, while maintaining a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher. Graduate credit will be awarded only for earned grades of C or better.
Students must complete and submit a graduation application to the registrar two semesters before the anticipated graduation date. A fee will be assessed for late applications. Students who fail to officially submit a graduation application will not be eligible for graduation.
For spring graduates completing requirements during summer:
- Students who completed their degree requirements during the summer will have their degree conferred on the first day of the fall semester.
- Students will participate in and receive their diploma covers at the preceding May commencement ceremony and be considered part of May’s graduating class.
- Diplomas will be released to the students in late September.
- Students who have not completed all requirements for graduation must petition the Committee on Academic Procedures by the last day to withdraw from classes to participate in spring commencement if more than one course requirement remains to be met.
Regardless of the number of courses remaining to be completed, students must submit a written plan to the registrar and Graduate Education Programs director, outlining how the requirements will be met before the end of the summer following spring commencement. This plan must be signed and approved by the director of the Graduate Education Programs. The written plan must be submitted by the last day of classes for the spring semester.
