FOUNDATION COURSES

Foundation courses may not be required for students depending on credits and/or degrees 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 degree. Foundation courses that are not required do not need to be replaced by another course in the program.

To graduate with a master's level certificate from Walsh College, students must meet program-specific graduation requirements. Refer to the section entitled Residency Policy for specific credit hour requirements for each program.  All students must:

  • 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 of 51% of the semester credit hours required in core courses in residence, therefore requiring 9 semester credit hours, in the Cybersecurity certificate program at Walsh College.

  • Achieve a cumulative grade point average of 3.000 (“B”) or better within the 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.
