A maximum of nine semester hours of graduate-level courses taken previously may transfer to the MSOL program (transferability of courses is determined by the program director). However, all courses in the leadership core must be taken at the Mount. Waivers of specific course requirements for students with extensive undergraduate background or professional training are possible in areas outside the leadership core, allowing them to substitute other elective MSOL courses to complete the 39 hours.
MSOL students must maintain a 3.0 GPA as described in the section on general academic policies for Mount graduate programs. Courses in which grades of “C” are received cannot be repeated and count toward meeting MSOL requirements. However, students receiving such grades need to maintain a 3.0 GPA to remain in good standing.
