Graduate Units Requirements

Up one level:

General Requirements

The University's expectation is that the units counted towards all graduate degrees are primarily in graduate courses. All units must be in courses at or above the 100 level and at least 50 percent of those must be courses designated primarily for graduate students (typically at least the 200 level). Units earned in courses below the 100 level may not be counted towards the minimum unit requirement for the master's degree. Department specifications for the level of course work accepted for a particular master's degree program may be higher than the University's specifications.
