2026-2027 Graduate Catalog

Credits Required

All programs require a minimum of 30 credits completed towards a UW-Green Bay graduate degree, however some programs may require more credits (30-61 credits) to meet full degree requirements.  

Degree Requirements

  • A cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 is required to earn the Ed.D. any of the master's degree, or a certificate. 
  • Students must earn a semester grade of C or higher in a graduate course for the credits to count toward fulfilment of graduate program requirements at UW-Green Bay. Individual programs may have a more rigorous grading scale than presented by the Office of Graduate Studies. 
  • A maximum of 50% of graduate credits may be earned as a Graduate Special student at UW-Green Bay prior to matriculation into the graduate degree program. 
  • A minimum of 50% of graduate credits must be earned in residence at UW-Green Bay.
  • Dual listed coursework can only account for half or less of all credits required for the degree. 

Time Limit

  • Matriculated graduate students must complete all requirements for their graduate degree within five years if completing a master's degree or within seven years if completing a doctorate degree, and with continuous enrollment.
  • If a student is unable to complete their degree within the time limit allowed, they may complete a Completion Deadline Extension form. 
  • This time period begins with the first day of the first term of enrollment as a graduate degree-seeking student. The time period will restart if a student is readmitted to a program after a period of two or more semesters (fall and spring) away from the university.  
  • All returning students must be an enrolled student for the semester in which they wish to graduate. This also pertains to returning students who have already met the credit requirement for their degree.
