Graduation

Students must petition to the Academic Affairs Office in order to be reviewed for graduation.  Degrees are awarded by Tufts University in cooperation with the Museum School upon completion of all requirements.  Students may graduate in May, November (for requirements completed over the summer) and February (for requirements completed at the end of the fall semester).  Degree students may participate in commencement ceremonies at both Tufts and the Museum School and both ceremonies are held on the same weekend.  Only one ceremony is held each year in May, and students who graduated in the preceding November and February are invited to participate. 

Students who anticipate graduation but have not completed all requirements may participate on a walking-only basis in commencement ceremonies at both schools if they are within 8 studio credits of completion or have four or fewer academics (but not both) and expect to complete all remaining coursework over the summer.  Degree students who are walking only have their degrees conferred in November.
