Foundation Course

Foundation courses may not be required for students depending on their undergraduate degree, graduate degree or credits earned at another institution. Each student will get a personalized evaluation of their academic history to ensure they take only the courses they need to complete their certificate. Foundation courses that are not required do not need to be replaced by another course in the program.

Graduation Requirements

Students must complete the prescribed requirements to graduate with a graduate certificate from Walsh College.

  • Complete the program of study within a period of 48 calendar months (four years) from the initial date of course enrollment (as designated by the first semester attended on the student’s Walsh College transcript). Extensions to this time requirement will only be granted upon review of the request by the dean of academics or designee.
  • Earn a minimum 15 graduate semester credit hours, which may include up to a maximum of 6 semester credit hours of advanced standing, therefore requiring 9 semester credit hours in residence in the Data Analytics certificate program.
  • Earn a grade of “C” (2.000) or better in each course counted towards graduation.
  • Achieve a cumulative grade point average of “B” (3.000) or better within the graduate certificate requirements at Walsh College.
  • Students preparing for graduation must file an official Application for Graduation. Students can make an appointment with an academic advisor to review graduation requirements.
  • Students can view their degree completion progress any time by logging into Self-Service for Students through the portal and clicking on “My Progress.”
