The total Program consists of 48 academic credit hours. Students completing the optional course PSYC6143 will graduate with 51 credit hours. Full-time students should be able to complete the Program in five trimesters. Part-time students may take up to five years from the date of initial enrollment to complete the Program.
The minimal pass for all PSYC courses is C+. However, in order to successfully complete and graduate from the program, students must achieve a minimal grade point average of 3.0. Students may elect to retake courses in which they have achieved a grade of less than C+. Students receiving a grade of C+ or less in three courses will be at risk of dismissal from the Program. Students with a grade point average of less than B will not be eligible to begin their practicum.
Students must also submit an Application to Graduate Form and pay the $125 graduation fee before the degree and final transcript can be issued.
