Retention
Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 in their MBA courses. Students who fall below this minimum will be placed on academic probation and referred to the associate dean for academic affairs. If the student is permitted to continue in the program, the conditions for continuance will be put in writing and communicated to the student. The full MBA retention policy is available through Business Student Services. In addition, students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher in order to receive their degree.
