Graduate Programs

Suffolk University offers graduate programs in Education and Human Services for students who have a bachelor and/or master degrees from the university or from other accredited educational institutions.

The purpose of the graduate program is to offer facilities for advanced instruction, study, and research so that students may receive a comprehensive view of the field of knowledge in which they are specializing. Candidates for graduate degrees must complete a program of study approved by their program director and their faculty advisor within five years of commencing graduate course work. A full-time course load is 12 credit hours per term.

Requirements

A requirement for the status of degree candidate at the master’s graduate level is an undergraduate program of study equivalent to either the B.A. or B.S. degree. Possession of a Master’s degree is required for matriculation in Advanced Degree Programs. Any grade less than a B (3.0) must be offset by the appropriate honor grade in order to maintain graduate degree candidacy. A maximum of six semesters credits less than B (3.0) may be offset in this manner. A minimum grade of B (3.0) is required in all field experiences.

Should a student earn a third grade of less than B (3.0), his/her continuance in a graduate program is contingent upon review by the Committee on Admission and Retention, with a recommendation from an appropriate Program Director. The faculties reserve the right to require the withdrawal of a student from a graduate program if in their estimation the probability of his/her success is doubtful. Such factors as academic performance, interest, effort and suitability for the field enter in the judgment.
