Graduation Requirements for Master of Science in Education

A Grade Point Average of B or better (3.0 or better) must be maintained in order to remain in the program and receive the degree. Students must achieve a grade of B or better in all graduate education courses as indicated in the course descriptions. Students, excluding those who are admitted under special circumstances or in exceptional cases, who do not receive a B or better in a course may repeat the course once. Failure to achieve a B or better the second time will lead to dismissal from the program. A graduate teacher education candidate may repeat no more than two courses unless otherwise approved by a review committee from the Division of Education whose decision is final.

Students admitted under special considerations or in exceptional cases must earn at least a B in each of their first four courses, without the option to repeat any of these courses. Failure to achieve a B or better in any of the first four graduate courses will lead to dismissal from the program. After earning a grade of B or better in the first four courses, students admitted under special considerations or in exceptional cases who do not receive a B or better in any subsequent course may repeat the course once. Failure to achieve a B or better the second time will lead to dismissal from the program.
