Program Calendar
Applicants accepted into this program will progress through their studies as one cohesive group, referred to as a "cohort." The cohort group will complete two courses every 8-week session for a total of 10 courses (30 graduate credit hours). This will provide an exceptional opportunity to form a functional and enduring professional network among the students and the professors.
What follows is the tentative MSIT course schedule which is repeated annually. Students may join the program starting the fall semester.

TRANSFER COURSES
The transferability of credits from another institution to Barry University is at the discretion of the Dean, who has the final word on how many credits and which courses may transfer, subject to an upper limit of six semester credit hours. Potential transfer courses/credits must be graduate level, must have been completed at a regionally accredited college or university, and must show on an official transcript with a grade of B or higher. Only credits will be transferred, not grades or grade point averages, and any credits, which are accepted, will be counted as having been taken in year one of the time limitation to complete the degree program.
ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT
Each student is provided with an academic advisor who assists the student in attaining educational goals and fulfilling Barry University requirements.
Academic advisors aid students by
- Helping prospective students to define educational goals, select a program of study, and apply to the University;
- Working with students in selecting appropriate coursework each term and in interpreting institutional requirements;
- Assisting students in the portfolio process;
- Referring students to appropriate institutional services and resources beyond the scope of the advisor; and
- Evaluating students progress on a regular basis relative to the student's goals and Barry University's requirements, including verification of degree completion.
- Academic advisors are in all ACE locations. For continuity, it is important that the student retain the same advisor throughout the program.
| While Barry University provides academic advising, the responsibility for planning individual programs rests with the students. Students are expected to become familiar with the requirements of the University, the School of Adult and Continuing Education, and their major disciplines. |
