We celebrate our graduates twice each year. In December, undergraduate and master’s graduates are recognized together in a combined Fall Commencement ceremony. In our Spring Commencement ceremonies in May, undergraduate students are honored in their individual school ceremonies, while master’s graduates are recognized in a dedicated Master’s Commencement ceremony.
