Post-Baccalaureate Degrees

All students completing post-baccalaureate degree programs must:

  • Be formally admitted to the program
  • Satisfy all the requirements and regulations of the individual college and program by the term completion date
  • Fulfill all degree requirements, including required coursework, thesis, research project and comprehensive examination as required by the student's specific degree program, within the time frame specified by the college and the program
  • Have a minimum GPA of 3.0
  • Have all the grades in the program be a "C" or better
  • Fulfill the residency requirement for his or her particular degree or program
Certain programs at NLU allow the completion of up to five courses (22.5 quarter hours/15 semester hours) of specifically designed doctoral coursework and apply such coursework to both master's and doctoral degrees. The following criteria apply:
  • The student must fulfill all pre-requisite and/or co-requisite requirements of the course
  • To earn graduate credit, the student must meet the minimum grade requirements established by their graduate degree program
  • To be eligible to receive graduate credit for the course upon enrollment in the doctoral program, the student must earn a grade of "B" or higher in the course 
  • The student must request the application of credit toward more than one degree by filling out an appropriate form with the academic advisor
Note: Credit for a course may be applied to no more than two degree programs. The second degree must be substantially different from the first degree. The student must meet all requirements for the second degree and complete at least 25% of the coursework in order to earn a second degree.
