Graduate Degree Programs The general policies, procedures, and requirements to earn a master’s degree at St. George’s University follow those of the Graduate Studies Program (GSP) of the University. The specific program in each department is defined by the rules developed within these GSP guidelines by the departmental Graduate Affairs Committee (GAC). The chair of the GAC is responsible for administration of the departmental program. Many departments will offer a research/thesis program and some may elect to also offer a non-thesis program. Advanced Standing and Transfer of Credits Up to 12 transfer credits can be made from a prior graduate degree program or during the course of the master’s degree from approved universities. Recommendation for transfer of credits for advanced standing and for acceptance of non-SGU courses will be determined by the departmental GAC and presented to the Dean of the GSP for approval. Course Requirements Students must complete at least 34 credit hours. The distribution of the credit hours will be determined by the GAC and approved by the Board of Studies (BOS) after review by the Graduate Review Committee (GRC). For the master’s degree program, which includes research and thesis, these components must be a total of 12 credits (6 for research and 6 for thesis). Substitutions within the Program Courses may be substituted at the discretion of the departmental GAC.

School of Medicine Graduate Degree Programs Satisfactory Academic Progress For students to maintain satisfactory academic progress, a GPA of at least 3.0 (B) and a passing grade in all pass/ fail courses must be obtained. If the GPA falls below 3.0, students will be placed on academic probation and must correct the deficiency within the stated period of time, as determined by the Committee for Satisfactory Academic Progress and Professional Standards. Failure to do so may result in dismissal. Students must achieve a “B” or better in all departmental courses. A “C” in any departmental course will require that students repeat the course at its next offering. A course may only be repeated once. Students’ academic progress will be reviewed biannually by the departmental GAC to identify and deal with any academic or nonacademic problems. A report of each meeting will be forwarded to the Dean of the Graduate Studies Program for any further action. Students who are dismissed may appeal through the established GSP appeals process. Supervisory Committee By the beginning of the second term, students are expected to have selected a mentor with whom they wish to work. For students in the research/thesis program, both student and mentor will determine the research project and, within two months of selecting a mentor, both will choose a thesis supervisory committee (SC) from faculty whose interests and expertise will complement the research project. The SC will oversee all aspects of research, administer the thesis, and review students’ progress. The SC will be composed of at least three members, with at least two faculty members from the department and one from outside the department. Thesis Preparation Students under the direction of student mentors will prepare the master’s thesis. Members of the SC will act as consultants during the research and must approve the thesis during its development, as well as in its final form. At least four weeks should be allowed for committee review and revision of drafts of the thesis. Thesis Format and Submission The thesis must be prepared and formatted according to the thesis rules and regulations of the Graduate Studies Program. Final submission of the thesis must follow the established GSP guidelines. Final Thesis Examination The thesis presentation and defense is the culmination of the GSP experience. Following the final review by the SC and the required alterations made to the satisfaction of the SC, students will present their research in a public seminar, duly advertised, at which all the SC members must be present. Following the seminar, the SC will make a final evaluation of the thesis and presentation. Capstone Presentation For students in the non-thesis master’s program, students and mentors must choose a topic related to the chosen program on which students will make a presentation at the end of their course of study. This presentation will be duly advertised within the University. Requirements for Graduation Students will be deemed to have fulfilled all requirements for the master’s degree after successfully completing at least 34 credits with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0. Time Frame for the Completion of the Master of Science Degree All requirements for the master’s degree must be completed within five years of matriculation into the program. 36 | St. George’s University
