Graduate Degree Programs & Associated Endorsements in Education
Program Requirements for Master Degree Programs
- All credits and requirements toward a master's degree, including transfer credits, must be completed within seven years prior to the date on which the degree is to be conferred. SVSU credits remain valid for a maximum of seven years.
- Each student must maintain a minimum of a 3.00 grade point average in graduate study. Only grades of "A", "B", or "C", may be certified toward graduation.
- Whenever a grade point average drops below a 3.00, or a student receives two "C" grades in the program, the student will be placed on academic probation. A student on probation must have records reviewed by a departmental committee. Continuation in the program and graduation will depend upon the recommendation of that committee and the approval of the dean.
- Courses taken as Continuing Education Units (C.E.U.'s) may not count toward a master's degree unless the course is endorsed for college credit in advance of advertisement by the corresponding department and by the Dean of the College of Education.
- A maximum of six credits of independent study may count toward the degree.
- A maximum of six credits of TE 509 courses may count toward the degree.
- Each student must successfully complete a designated "capstone" course during his/her last six semester hours of graduate study.
- Exit from the program will include a degree check, a review of GPA, and successful completion of the "capstone" course.
