In the bid for accreditation, NU is required to make adjustments in its graduate programs. Students admitted to the NationsUniversity graduate program prior to September 5, 2008 have a choice of patterns. They may choose to complete the degree by fulfilling the pattern in effect when they registered. Or, they may choose to satisfy a later set of requirements. We recommend switching to the current pattern if feasible.
The pattern in effect from August 3, 2008 through September 4, 2008:
The M.R.S. degree (or equivalent) plus 30 credits, which include
M 7 and higher courses and/or MRS 600s numbered courses (18 credits)
Electives drawn from non-ministry couses within the NU graduate curriculum (12 credits)
