Degree Requirements & Academic Policies

Student Course Overloads

A student may earn up to eighteen (18) credits toward the degree requirements in any semester. With the approval of the Academic Standards Committee, a student may register for more than eighteen (18) hours. All such work will be recorded and computed in the normal manner for determining grade-point average and academic standing.

Students will receive credit toward graduation for up to four (4) hours in excess of the eighteen (18) hour maximum if, and only if, their semester grade-point average is 3.7 and they have no grade below a B during that semester. Extra hours taken in any semester do not modify the four (4) semester residency for the MBA degree.
