A grade of C- or better must be earned in each course counted toward degree requirements. If a grade of D+ or below is earned, that course must be repeated or substituted for as required by the Program Director. Students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of B- (2.70) or higher in order to remain in good standing and complete requirements for the M.S. in Public Service Management. The Director puts students on departmental probation when their cumulative GPAs fall below 2.70. Students may be dismissed for poor scholarship if they earn another grade below B- or if they fail to raise their GPA above 2.70. A student who attains a cumulative grade point average of 3.75 or higher in all 500- and 600-level courses will graduate "with distinction."
