Graduation Requirements

Students must complete the prescribed requirements to graduate with a master’s degree from Walsh College.

  • Complete the program of study within a period of 60 calendar months (five 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.
  • Students are limited to no more than 6 semester credit hours of courses in directed study, practicum and/or internships.
  • Earn a minimum of 36 graduate semester credit hours, which may include up to a maximum of 12 semester credit hours of advanced standing, therefore requiring 24 semester credit hours of core and elective credits in residence in the MAC 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 degree 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.”
