In addition to the above electives, M.B.A. students may choose their electives from other graduate programs at KSU subject to the approval of the M.B.A. Program Coordinator.

The normal load of a graduate student during any semester is nine semester credit hours. Under no circumstances, may it exceed 12 credit hours. Part-time students who are employed full-time are advised to carry no more than six semester credit hours of graduate-level coursework in any semester.

All students must maintain a GPA of at least 3.0. If a student's GPA falls below this minimum requirement, fulltime students have one semester to raise the GPA to 3.0 and part-time students have two semesters to improve their GPA to the minimum of 3.0. All students must receive a grade of C or better in all courses.

A student may repeat a graduate course. Only the highest grade will count toward total hours or toward the student's grade point-average.

Students who fail to maintain a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or better and/or have more than two grades of C will be placed on academic probation. Students will have one full-time semester or its equivalent (nine semester credit hours) to remove the academic probation by attaining a 3.0 average. Students placed on scholastic probation are not eligible for assistantship. Probation may not be appealed.

A student who is on academic probation, and whose current grade-point average falls or remains below 3.0, or who fails to complete coursework required to be removed from probation, will be dismissed from the graduate program and the University. A dismissed student may reapply for admission to the program after a period of absence from the University for at least one year. Enrollment will be terminated for academic probation for three semesters of enrollment.

All program requirements must be completed within six years of initial admission, unless otherwise approved by the Dean of the College of Business and Computer Science.

The Outstanding M.B.A. Student Award will be based on nominations from all School of Business faculty. These nominations will be forwarded to the M.B.A. Committee, who will make the recommendation. This award is based on outstanding academic achievements and the student's potential for success in business. A minimum GPA of 3.5 and the completion of a minimum of 18 hours are also required.
