Academic Requirements

To qualify for a master’s degree conferred by Northeastern Seminary, the candidate must present the following:

1. The minimum credit hours required for the program
2. A minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.7
3. Submission of the completed Application for Degree to Academic Services no later than October 1 prior to the May Commencement

Commencement Participation

Students have only one opportunity to participate in Commencement ceremonies. If a student is eligible to participate in a given Commencement, they must participate in that Commencement.

Diplomas are not issued until all academic requirements and financial obligations have been fulfilled. Once a degree has been conferred, the academic transcript and GPA are frozen. Subsequent course work and grades will be applied to a new transcript.
