  Program Requirements

  The graduate certificate consists of 8 graduate courses, up to 3 of which may be waived based on prior coursework. The Graduate Certificate in Business Fundamentals varies between 15 credit hours to 24 credit hours depending on the number of graduate courses requiring successful completion.

  Foundation Courses

  Foundation requirements include a set of courses designed for those applicants who have had no exposure or limited exposure to business courses in their academic background and/or limited work experience. Each applicant's program requirements are determined immediately following the admission decision. Up to 3 foundation requirements may be waived, depending upon the applicant's academic background. The mere fact that a student has completed coursework in one or more particular disciplines does not imply that any waiver will be granted. Prior academic work must be of sufficient quantity and quality as to satisfy the specific criteria established. Each student's specific requirements are determined individually with the objective of ensuring the overall quality of that student's program of study.

  Program Characteristics

  Several important aspects of the Graduate Certificate in Business Fundamentals program should be noted. These include policies regarding grade point averages, class scheduling, and advising.

  Cumulative Grade Point Average

  Students in the Graduate Certificate in Business Fundamentals program are required to achieve and maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or better (on a 4.0 scale). A 3.0 cumulative GPA is required for final completion of the program requirements.

  Academic Standing

  While an individual may be admitted into the Graduate Certificate in Business Fundamentals program on a regular-acceptance basis, it is possible that the individual's eventual cumulative GPA may fall below a 3.0 in any particular term. When this situation occurs, the student automatically is placed on "Academic Probation". This status dictates that the student's cumulative GPA must continue to improve in each consecutive term thereafter until the cumulative GPA reaches 3.0 and is then sustained at that level or higher. If, after being placed on Academic Probation, the student's cumulative GPA does not improve in each subsequent term, the student will be academically dismissed.

  Class Scheduling

  Classes are scheduled in the evening and online. Classes are currently offered on the McNichols Campus and downtown Riverfront campus. Evening classes begin at 6:40 p.m., Monday through Thursday for Term I and Term II on the McNichols Campus and evening classes begin at 6 p.m., Monday through Thursday for Term I and Term II on the downtown Riverfront campus. Terms are 15 weeks in length. Each summer session is seven weeks in length. Summer I commences in May. Summer II begins in late June. Downtown Riverfront Campus summer schedule overlaps both end of McNichols Summer I and start of McNichols Summer II.

  Full-Time and Part-Time Student Status

  An individual may undertake the Graduate Certificate in Business Fundamentals program on a part-time basis. Full-time student status usually involves a nine or above credit-hour course load in Terms I and II. Part-time student status usually entails a 1-8 credit hour load in Terms I and II.

  Residence and Time Requirements

  Students who have not completed their required graduate certificate program within two years may be subject to re-evaluation and additional coursework. Students not enrolled for more than four consecutive terms will be required to re-apply for admission.

  International Students

  International students should consult with the International Services Office.

  Advising

  The Director of Graduate Business Programs serves as general academic advisor for all students entering the Graduate Certificate in Business Fundamentals program. When appropriate, specific advising matters may be referred to the advisor in a particular academic discipline.

  Student Responsibilities

  Students in the College of Business Administration are responsible and accountable for knowledge of the requirements and procedures set forth by the College and University. Administrators, advisors, and faculty are available to assist students by explaining the various requirements and procedures for each program. However, the ultimate responsibility for compliance rests with the student.
