Foundation & Core Requirements
Foundation/Prerequisite Requirement
Each
business master's program has a required common body of knowledge
that each student must complete before enrolling in core-level graduate
courses. A series of 500-level foundation courses covers most common
subjects. Introductory courses open to all graduate students do
not count toward core-level requirements in any graduate business
program.
Once admitted into a graduate business program, students lacking
basic course work must take foundation courses first. These may
be waived for students who have completed equivalent work with a
C or better at an approved, accredited undergraduate institution.
Upper-Level Core Requirements
Upper-level core courses, both required and elective (515
and above), provide the 30 to 39 hours of advanced course work for
the graduate degree. They are reserved for graduate business program
students who have completed all foundation/prerequisite requirements
and those admitted to upper-level graduate candidacy by the Graduate
Business Programs Office.
Non-business graduate students must have permission from the Assistant
Dean of Graduate Business Programs to enroll in 600-level business
courses.
Degree Requirements
Graduate business students must complete all foundation/prerequisite
and upper-level core requirements for their specific program with
a combined GPA of at least 3.0 (B). They must also maintain a 3.0
GPA in required upper-level core courses, electives not included.
Core-level courses completed satisfactorily (B or better) from seven
to ten years prior to graduation may be applied only if validated
by examination. A maximum of six hours of core-level courses from
other institutions may be transferred it they:
- are determined to be equivalent to the courses to be waived
- were taken at an AACSB accredited institution, and
- were passed with a grade of B or better.
Dismissal from Program Policies
Graduate students with a GPA below 3.0 (B) may be dismissed
from the progam if, after two semesters of enrollment, they have
not restored their GPA to 3.0 (B).
Graduate students may be dismissed from a graduate business program
if they receive more than two grades below 2.7 (B-) in any of the
required foundation and core courses. Should a student repeat a
course, the repeated grade will be the grade of record.
Conditional Admission (Academic Deficiency
Condition)
Students holding non-degree status must have permission
to enroll in undergraduate or graduate busines courses.
Guest Status
Guest students who wish to transfer courses to another
institution's graduate program must meet the standards for degree
admission and have permission to enroll in business courses.
