Degree Requirements

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION

All courses in a candidate's program must be approved by the M.A.L.S. program director. An average grade of B (3.0) is required for graduation, and no course with a grade lower than B– (2.7) will be counted toward the degree. Students are required to retain good academic standing, i.e., to maintain a GPA of at least 3.0. All students are required to complete and defend a thesis. Thesis hours need to be completed in two consecutive semesters with a B (3.0) or better. Failure to maintain good standing may result in dismissal from the program. Other academic regulations and policies are established by the M.A.L.S. advisory board. Please consult the Faculty/Student guides for further information.

Candidates are strongly encouraged, but not required, to demonstrate competency in a foreign language.
