Academic Progression                                                                                                            

Master of Athletic Training

MAT students must successfully complete all courses listed with an overall GPA of 2.75. A student may earn a C in no more than two MAT courses. To earn credit for a course, students must earn a grade of C or better; grades below this standard do not earn credit.

Master of Business Administration

MBA students must maintain a cumulative graduate GPA of at least 2.50 to maintain satisfactory progress in the program. To earn credit for a course, students must earn a grade of C or better; grades below this standard do not earn credit. If a student drops below a 2.50 GPA or receives a grade of “C-” or lower in one course, the student will be placed on academic probation. A second C- in either the same or a consecutive term may be cause for academic dismissal.

Students are also expected to maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.50 throughout their MBA program. Falling below this standard for one term is cause for academic probation; failure to raise the GPA in the following term may be cause for academic dismissal. The Dean of the School of Business and the Chief Academic Officer reserve the right to view each occurrence on a case-by-case basis.

Master of Education

MEd students must maintain a cumulative graduate GPA of at least 3.00, and no course grade lower than a B- to maintain satisfactory progress in the program. If a student drops below a 3.00 GPA or receives a grade of C or lower, a warning letter from the program dean indicating probation will be sent. More than two grades of C or lower, even when repeating the same course, will result in academic suspension from the program.

If a student is placed on probation, the student will have one semester in which to raise overall graduate GPA to the program’s minimum. Failure to do so will result in dismissal from the graduate program. The Chief Academic Officer of Academic Affairs and the appropriate graduate program dean reserve the right to view each occurrence on a case-by-case basis.

Master of Science

MS students must maintain a cumulative graduate GPA of at least 2.75 to maintain satisfactory progress in the program. To earn credit for a course, students must earn a grade of C or better. If a student drops below a 2.75 GPA or receives a grade of “C-” or lower in one course, the student will be placed on academic probation. A second C- in either the same or a consecutive term may be cause for academic dismissal.

Students are also expected to maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.75 throughout their MS program. Falling below this standard for one term is cause for academic probation; failure to raise the GPA in the following term may be cause for academic dismissal.

Academic Progress Requirements for Scholarships and Financial Aid
