MBA Transfer Credit

Transfer credits may be applied to a student’s program of study upon approval of a program co-director. Co-directors will handle decisions on a case-by-case basis in consultation with additional faculty members.

A maximum of 9 hours of transfer credit may be applied to the degree. All transfer work must have a grade of A or B and have been completed for graduate credit at an accredited college or university. Normally, all transferred coursework must be less than five years old. The MBA co-directors approve transfer credit taken more than five years before the student is admitted by exception only. The co-directors approve exceptions only when the student uses the content as part of their professional life. Students requesting to transfer work must submit the request in writing with an official transcript from the university which awarded the credit.

Academic Standards

Academic probation. Students who have completed nine hours in a graduate program will be placed on academic probation if their GPA falls below 2.75. The MBA co-directors will notify such students in writing of their probationary status, which remains in effect until they raise their GPA above 2.75 or are dismissed from the program. Those on probation should meet with one of the MBA co-directors to develop a plan for increasing their probability of academic success.

After two Cs, the co-directors will send a letter to the student reminding them of the academic probation policy. After three Cs, the student will be placed on academic probation. After the fourth C, students may be dismissed or be asked to repeat courses.

Graduation GPA Requirements

Graduate students are expected to earn A and B grades. A GPA of 2.75 is the minimum requirement for graduation.
