Graduate Graduation and Commencement

Franklin Switzerland confers Master’s degrees in August for full-time students who enter the program in the previous fall semester. In order to be able to graduate, students must have fulfilled all degree requirements, including forty-five credits and a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.

Master's students who are on track to complete all degree requirements by August, with no intention to complete the optional fourth semester, may participate in the commencement ceremony held in May. Once a student has successfully completed all outstanding requirements, the student will officially graduate by the end of August (August 31) whereupon the diploma will be issued. Students who successfully complete all requirements for a total of 60 credits will be December graduates and may participate in the commencement ceremony held in the following year.
