Students must complete 24 graded (A-F) credits to meet the residency requirement (the 4+1 BS/MS residency requirement is 18 credits after completion of the BS degree). The student must maintain at least an overall B average (GPA 3.0/4.0) for his or her graduate coursework to be eligible for the MS degree.
