General Policy

Student Course Load     Most M.B.A. students at Indiana University Kokomo are employed full time in positions of responsibility. The high standards and workload in the M.B.A. program requires considerable time and effort that must be balanced with other life and work demands. For this reason, part-time students are advised to take no more than 7 credit hours in fall and spring, and 4 credit hours during any one summer session. Course schedules are constructed accordingly, with all courses offered after 4 p.m.

Transfer Credit     Up to 9 graduate credit hours may be transferred into the M.B.A. program from AACSB-accredited or AACSB candidate schools. No graduate courses where the student earned below a B can be transferred into the program. Transfer credit determination is made by the M.B.A. director in consultation with the appropriate faculty.

Waiver     As noted above, core foundation course requirements may be waived if satisfactory completion of equivalent course work is demonstrated in the student’s undergraduate or graduate transcript. Work experience and noncredit courses normally do not satisfy the foundation requirements, but may serve as confirming evidence along with academic course work. Validation exams are available for several core courses.

Academic Standards     Graduation with the M.B.A. degree requires at least a cumulative grade point average (G.P.A.) of 3.0 (B). A student whose G.P.A. falls below 3.0 will be placed on probation and will be required to bring the G.P.A. back to 3.0 within the next 12 credit hours of course work. Failure to remove the deficiency in this timeframe will result in immediate dismissal from the program. A student cannot compensate for deficient course work by completing more credits beyond those required in the program of study.
