The University of Cincinnati is on a quarter system. While qualification for the
master’s degree is not based exclusively upon the completion of a definite number
of hours of course work, the satisfactorily completed graduate work must consist
of a minimum of one academic year of full-time graduate study consisting of at least
45 graduate quarter credit hours, including any thesis or research project. Credits
earned in professional law or medicine programs are not applicable to the 45 credit
minimum.
Quarter credit hour requirements for master’s degree programs range from 45 to 144.
Therefore, some master’s programs are completed in one year whereas other programs
require two or three years. At least 30 of the graduate quarter credit hours applied
toward a master’s degree must be derived from formal course work, i.e., any course
taken for graduate credit for which the graduate student receives a letter grade
of A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, or F.
Students enrolled in full-time graduate study must register for a minimum of ten
graduate credit hours per quarter. Full-time students receiving scholarships must
register for a minimum of 12 credit hours each quarter for which they are funded.
Students receiving scholarships, assistantships, or fellowships from the university
must register for the number of graduate credit hours each quarter for which they
are funded (see Costs & Funding).
For students who must devote less than full-time to graduate study, those hours
must be judged appropriate by their advisory program.
