Ceremonies
Emerson College holds graduation ceremonies once a year in May for graduates of the current academic year (September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2024). If you will earn your degree in December 2023 or in August 2024, your ceremony will be in May 2024. Speech@Emerson graduates will have their own graduation ceremony at the conclusion of Immersion 2. Graduating students may only participate in the ceremony that coincides with the academic year of their degree completion.
