Cannot complete thesis and blocked to go non-thesis. What other avenues towards a degree exist?

I am not willing to offer any more of my time having already exceeded my anticipated graduation date by 1 year. I decided to cut my losses and change to a non-thesis program. I am prevented from doing this by my committee chair who does not approve of this transition. So my committee chair has me at a bit of an impasse. I cannot spend any more time towards his research, but I cannot switch to a program of study that no longer requires more research without his approval which he is not willing to give. Where do I go from here? advisor share | im
