Admission and Program Requirements
Admission to all graduate degree programs in the School of Accelerated Degree Programs is granted to students who have an undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 or better (on a 4.0 scale). Students who do not meet that grade point or other admissions standard will be given individual consideration and, possibly, be admitted. Admission may be granted to students who have grade point averages between 2.5 and 2.99 or whose program overviews have not yet been approved. Once accepted for full degree candidacy, graduate students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0. Students who do not maintain a 3.0 grade point average may face academic probation and/or suspension from the university.
The trimester programs consist of six clusters including a capstone course. Students are assigned a faculty advisor to guide them through their specific degree program. Each degree program is designed to meet both student needs and accreditation requirements. Consequently, students may not deviate from any cluster requirements.
