Graduate Student Transfer Credit
Grades of C or better for courses taken at UMass Lowell when the student held non-degree status may also be transferred (by Academic Petition) into a degree program. However, the 6 and 9 credits with grades below a B (graduation limit) for master's and doctoral degrees, respectively, (see Retention Policy) and calculation of the cumulative grade point average based on all graduate courses taken at the University (see Academic Grades) remain in effect.
To earn the Graduate Certificate in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Educators, students complete 12 credits from courses that explore issues related to equity, social justice and inclusive classroom practice. Urban schools, on average, serve a wider range of students from racially, ethnically and linguistically diverse backgrounds than their suburban or rural counterparts. Such diversity is a great strength for urban schools. Yet it also presents a challenge, not only because schools must be responsive to a broader range of backgrounds and experiences, but also because the most socially and economically marginalized students in our society are overrepresented in urban schools where the vast majority of educators are white and monolingual. In these contexts it is particularly important for educators to practice responsive and inclusive approaches to pedagogy and to be critically aware of how education-as part of a broader system of power-has historically emphasized the deficits of students rather than their strengths.
Each SMS student must complete three core courses (9 credits), which includes 2 out of 3 of the core courses in the biological, chemical, and physical oceanography and a third core course in marine policy and/or management areas (including law and economics). The Core column in the SMS course list identifies the core courses and their respective areas. The core courses are intended to provide a common grounding in the biological, chemical, and physical oceanographic areas of marine sciences and technology, and in related marine policy and management disciplines. Courses covering technology and quantitative skills are generally subject to student choice and guidance committee approval, though there may be requirements specific to each option area. At least two core courses are offered each semester using the University’s substantial distance learning facilities and technology. Students normally complete the core courses in the first two semesters.
