Xavier welcomes students from outside the United States to enroll in its online programs. However, some countries do not formally recognize foreign online degrees. This may have implications for enrolling in subsequent degree programs or for securing employment requiring these credentials. It is students’ responsibility to determine whether the online degree will be recognized in their country of residence or in any country in which they plan to work. Additionally, students should inquire in their country of residence how the collection of student data may be used and whether they will be subject to additional withholding taxes in addition to the cost of tuition.
Xavier University is authorized to offer this fully online degree program in all states.

For some programs, a maximum of 6 semester hours (or the equivalent) of graduate work completed at another accredited graduate school prior to initial admission to Xavier University may be transferred with the permission of the program director and the dean. Coursework that is part of a previously earned graduate degree is not accepted for transfer credit. Only grades of “A” or “B” (3.00 or higher) are transferable. Decisions regarding transfer credit are made at the time of admission to degree-seeking status.
Yes! Students taking 4.5 credit hours or more per semester are eligible for federal student loans. See the Financial Aid page for more information.
You must pay or make arrangements to pay for your tuition when you register (unless you register early). Options include arranging for a payment plan, deferring payment until a student loan or employer reimbursement comes through, or paying with cash, check or credit card. See the Bursar page for more information about payment options.
For most programs, you do not need to submit a standardized test score if you already hold a graduate degree.
For some programs, you may register for a class on the day it begins. However, we recommend registering as early as possible to reduce the chances of your class being full. Registration for the fall semester and summer sessions begins in late March, and registration for spring begins in late November. If it is your first class at Xavier, you may complete an application for non-degree graduate status and register on the same day.
Graduate program directors serve as academic advisors.
Yes. You may contact an Enrollment Specialist at (513) 745-3957 to discuss your background and interests, and to learn more about the program in which you are interested.
