Online Course Orientation
The free and no credit Moodle orientation (MDL*001*R1) is mandatory for all students. MDL*001*R1 must be taken prior to the start of the first course.

To graduate with a master's degree from Walsh College, students must meet program-specific graduation requirements. All students must:

  • 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.

  • Earn a minimum of 50% of the semester credit hours required in core, concentration, elective, and capstone courses in residence, therefore requiring 18 semester credit hours, in the Master of Business Administration program at Walsh College. 
  • Achieve a grade point average of 2.000 (“C”) or better in all courses required in the Master of Business Administration program taken in residence at Walsh College.

  • Achieve a cumulative grade point average of 3.000 (“B”) 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 student portal and clicking on “My Progress” on the Academic Records card.
