Degree Requirements
Students are allowed to proceed through the Program at their own pace. Some finish in one year; others take longer. Requirements for the degree must be completed within five years of the semester in which the student enrolls.
Certain courses are required. Degree candidates must achieve a passing grade in all required courses.
Most courses in the program curriculum are scored at two credits. Degree candidates must successfully complete not less than 12 courses and a total of 24 credits with a cumulative weighted grade point average of at least 2.50 on a 4.0 scale.
Students who complete 24 credits in the Program with less than a cumulative grade point average of 2.50 may take in excess of 24 credits, but only the first 28 credits (“eligible credits”) are considered in determining degree qualification. From the eligible credits, the 24 credits in which the highest grades are achieved are used in computing the cumulative weighted average to determine degree qualification. The 24 credits for degree qualification include the grades in all required courses, even if they are not the highest grades among the eligible credits.
Upon completion of those requirements, a Master of Laws (LL.M.) degree is awarded by the School of Law to candidates who entered with a J.D. degree or equivalent. A Master of Taxation (M.T.) degree is awarded by the College of Commerce and Finance to all other candidates who satisfy the degree requirements.
