Graduation and Degree Requirements
Molloy University has established minimum requirements for the awarding of degrees. Some programs of study may have higher minimum requirements or additional standards for graduation requirements. Students must refer to the major requirement information listed under each program of study for specific details.
Students are expected to complete the major and degree requirements as described in the catalog for their entry year. This is referred to as the student’s catalog year. A change of major does not change a student’s catalog year. Students who are readmitted to the University will assume the catalog year associated with the readmission term and the Office of Admissions will reevaluate the previous work and approve the student’s program of study according to the Readmission Policy and new catalog’s policies. Additionally, students must attend at least one term in a major for a degree to be awarded.
Students are required to complete a minimum number of credits in liberal arts and sciences. A list of approved liberal arts and sciences courses are available in the students' Lion's Den portal, along with a report to check their total credits.
In addition to the liberal arts and sciences requirements and the General Education requirements, students also may need to fulfill the departmental requirements for an area of concentration and elect courses for cultural or professional value. Students should refer to the programs of studies for their areas of concentration. The minimum grade requirement for General Education courses is a “D”.
A minimum grade of “C” or better is required in courses used to fulfill major and minor requirements. Some programs may require higher grades in the majors or minors and also may have higher minimum grade requirements for related requirements and prerequisites.
The overall grade point average (GPA) requirement for undergraduate students is a 2.0, with the exception for Education majors, who need a 3.0 GPA to graduate.
