Degree Requirements

To qualify for an associate degree, a candidate must:

• fulfill the major and core curriculum requirements of the college
• earn a minimum of 63-65 credit hours with a minimum GPA of 2.00 (C).
• (normally) complete 30 credits at Immaculata University
• meet the department/division requirements appropriate for the concentration program chosen.

To qualify for a baccalaureate degree, a candidate must:

• fulfill the major and core curriculum requirements of the college (including ethics and writing intensive requirements);
• earn a minimum of 126 credit hours, with a minimum GPA of 2.00 (C).
• Complete a First Year Seminar (FYS). Transfers and part-time students complete the College Success seminar.
• meet the departmental requirements appropriate for the concentration program chosen.

Every student is responsible for knowing the requirements for the degree being sought and for arranging the program of study accordingly. Students are encouraged to complete a credit check during the second semester of the junior year (69-89 credits) with the Registrar or their professional advisor. Students are responsible for working out course schedules to ensure that requirements set forth in the credit check are met. Students can use Degree Works, the University's online degree audit program (accessible through MyIU), to track their program progress.

The maximum period for an undergraduate full-time student to complete degree requirements is six years; for a part-time student, it is twelve years.

Request To Change Undergraduate Degree Level

Immaculata University students enrolled in a Baccalaureate degree are not permitted to change their degree level to the Associate degree if the students have received and accepted scholarship monies from Immaculata University for their bachelor's degree program.

Students enrolled in an Associate degree program, who would like to continue at Immaculata University after their degree has been conferred must apply to Admissions to be accepted in the Baccalaureate degree program.
