Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3352 - Wright State University › Chapter 3352-3 - Admission and Degree Requirements › Section 3352-3-04 - Graduate degree requirements

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A)
								Master's degree.
			 To graduate with a master's degree from Wright state university, all students
			 must fulfill the general requirements as listed in paragraphs (A)(1) to (A)(10)
			 of this rule.
(1)
									Be admitted to the school of graduate studies in order
			 to receive graduate credit.
(2)
									Complete a
			 program of study form to be filed in the school of graduate
			 studies.
(3)
									Complete the requirements for the graduate degree
			 within seven calendar years, unless the student's program has a shorter time
			 limit.
(4)
									Maintain a cumulative grade point/hour ratio of at
			 least a 3.0 in all courses taken for graduate credit. No more than nine credit
			 hours of C grades are acceptable. Individual programs may utilize criteria in
			 addition to course work grades to evaluate a graduate student's status in the
			 program.
(5)
									Meet residency requirements.
(a)
										Register on
			 campus as a graduate student.
(b)
										Devote wholly or
			 partly to graduate work a minimum of three quarters at Wright state
			 university.
(c)
										Complete a minimum of thirty-three quarter hours of
			 graduate credit at Wright state university.
(6)
									Complete a
			 minimum of forty-five quarter hours of program required graduate credit. A
			 department may require completion of more than forty-five credit
			 hours.
(7)
									Be registered during the quarter in which a thesis is
			 defended.
(8)
									Successfully complete the final comprehensive
			 examination, if required in the program.
(9)
									Present one copy
			 of an approved thesis to the school of graduate studies, if required in the
			 program, no later than thirty days after the date the degree was
			 granted.
(10)
									Submit a formal application for graduation to the
			 school of graduate studies within the application deadline.
(11)
									Individual
			 departments and colleges have requirements that must be met in addition to the
			 general requirements set forth in paragraphs (A)(1) to (A)(10) of this rule.
			 Because graduate degree programs may set additional policies and degree
			 requirements, a prospective graduate student should be familiar with both
			 graduate school and degree program policies and requirements, since compliance
			 with both is required for satisfactory academic performance and subsequent
			 graduation.
(12)
									Second master's degree. A student may earn a second
			 master's degree by taking a minimum of thirty-three credit hours. Credits for
			 the second master's degree must be taken after the award of the first master's
			 degree. These hours must be taken at Wright state university. Departments or
			 programs may specify additional requirements depending on the length of the
			 program, prerequisites for the individual student, and/or the nature of the
			 first degree. Admission policies and procedures are the same as those for any
			 student applying to the program, except that an admission application fee is
			 not required if the first degree was earned at Wright state
			 university.
(13)
									Dual master's degree program. A dual master's degree
			 program at Wright state university permits common course work to apply toward
			 two graduate programs. A prospective graduate student who wishes to pursue a
			 dual master's degree program should contact the school of graduate studies to
			 determine what dual programs are available.
(14)
									Working on two
			 master's degrees. A graduate student desiring to work on two master's degrees
			 at Wright state university at the same time may do so provided the student
			 fulfills the general requirements as listed in paragraphs (A)(14)(a) to
			 (A)(14)(e) of this rule.
(a)
										The student formally applies and is admitted into the
			 second master's degree program before registering for any courses for that
			 program.
(b)
										Within two quarters from the start of the programs,
			 approved programs of study are on file in the school of graduate studies for
			 both graduate programs.
(c)
										The first program must have a minimum of forty-five
			 graduate hours. The second program must have a minimum of thirty-three graduate
			 hours (individual programs may require more hours than the minimum
			 requirement).
(d)
										Courses required for one program cannot be applied
			 toward the second program's requirements.
(e)
										Only twelve hours
			 of transfer credit can be applied, with program and school of graduate studies
			 approval, toward the requirements of the first master's degree. No transfer
			 credit can be applied toward the thirty-three graduate hours required for the
			 second master's degree.
(15)
									Fresh start. A
			 graduate student may request a fresh start when changing or returning to
			 graduate programs within the school of graduate studies. A fresh start permits
			 a graduate student to begin a graduate program and have the graduate academic
			 record recalculated to reflect no hours attempted and no graduate grade point
			 average for the new program. For fresh start purposes, a new program is a
			 program into which a student transfers while in active status or a program to
			 which a student returns from inactive status. A student granted a fresh start
			 will be admitted into the new program as a conditional degree-seeking student.
			 A graduate student who wishes to utilize the fresh start rule at Wright state
			 university should meet with a program advisor in order to determine eligibility
			 and program requirements. Only one fresh start will be granted to a graduate
			 student at Wright state university.
(16)
									Change of
			 program. A graduate student who wishes to change from one degree program to
			 another must submit a completed admissions application to the school of
			 graduate studies. The change of program must have the approval of the
			 departments concerned, as well as the approval of the school of graduate
			 studies.
(17)
									Petition. A student who wishes to deviate from the
			 normal graduate school regulations and procedures may submit a petition to the
			 school of graduate studies. The petition must have the recommendation of the
			 student's advisor, the instructor if applicable, and the appropriate department
			 or college. An action taken on a petition will not be considered as a precedent
			 for any future action.
