Degree Requirements

To earn a bachelor’s degree, a student must attain an overall QPA of at least 2.0, as well as a 2.0 in the major. Students in Education, Social Work, and Nursing must attain an overall and major QPA of 2.5. Students must also successfully complete all requirements as prescribed in their particular program. At least half of the courses in a student’s major must be taken at Niagara University. Niagara allows study abroad courses to satisfy part of the last 10 courses with the approval of the dean.

Certain majors may have a higher grade point average requirement for retention in the major, e.g., education, social work and nursing. Retention in the major is determined by the appropriate department and college.
