Master's Programs: Academic Policies

All students are responsible for knowing academic and university policies.

Policies specific to the M.S.M. and MA-HRM programs include the following:

To graduate, students must earn an overall grade point average of at least a 'B' (3.0 on a 4.0 scale) on course work applied toward the MA-HRM, which may include no more than one course completed with a grade of 'C.' Students are permitted to retake, no more than one time each, up to two courses for which they earn less than a 'B' (3.0). The grade from the second enrollment in the course will replace the original grade for the purpose of calculating the grade point average. Any student who earns less than a 'B-' in more than three courses, or whose grade point average falls below a 'B' (3.0) for two consecutive semesters, may be subject to dismissal from the program.

Students must complete the program's capstone course, Master's Capstone: Research, Synthesis, Applications, with a grade of 'B' or better.

Other important policies affecting master's students enrolled in CUA's Metropolitan School of Professional Studies may be found online at http://policies.cua.edu/. Students should familiarize themselves with the information contained under the "Academic Graduate" link in particular.
