2011-2012 Archived Catalog Information

Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 and must successfully complete the required 60 credit course of study outlined in the MFA curriculum chart that culminates in the successful completion and defense of the final thesis project. At least 48 of the 60 required credits must be earned in 800-level or above numbered courses, and all must be in 700-level or above courses. MFA candidates are also required to exhibit their thesis project at a community-based venue to be determined and organized by the candidates.  

Students are required to submit an application for degree to the Suffolk University Registrar’s Office by the published deadline. It is expected that all obligations to the University, both academic and financial, will be completed at the close of the semester. Failure to comply with this requirement will delay graduation and participation in commencement.
