Master’s Degree to Doctorate Degree Fast Track


Walsh College allows master’s degree seeking students to complete up to five doctoral level courses as part of their master’s degree requirements.

Master’s degree seeking students taking doctoral level courses must successfully complete the approved courses with a grade of “B” (3.000) or higher in order to be considered for credit in the chosen doctoral degree. All doctoral level courses taken and grades received will be reflected on the student’s master’s level transcript and will be used in computing the student’s cumulative grade point average for purposes of graduation. Students are responsible for paying doctoral level tuition and course fees. A student must be in good standing to pursue the Fast Track program. Completion of doctoral level courses does not guarantee admission to doctoral level programs.

The following courses are approved Fast Track course options:
