Master’s Residency Requirements

The faculty of each graduate program determines its own residency requirements for doctoral and master's degrees, subject to initial review by the Graduate Faculty Senate. Consult your academic program for its requirements.

For academic programs that choose to maintain the traditional regulation concerning residency for master's students, the following applies: the student must complete a minimum of 24 semester hours of MU graduate courses which are taught by MU faculty and which are approved by the academic program and the Graduate School.
