Admission Requirements for Specific Programs
Graduate Students may transfer up to twelve (12) hours of graduate credit into the MACM, up to (35) hours of graduate credit into the MDiv program, up to six (6) hours of graduate credit into the MBA program, or up to nine (9) hours of graduate credit into the MEd program. The graduate work must be completed at a regionally accredited college or university and consist of courses earning a grade of 3.0 (on a 4-point scale) or better. Coursework accepted for credit toward a graduate degree must be relevant to the degree under consideration. It must also reflect content and instruction resulting in student competencies equivalent to those required of students enrolled in similar courses at NGU.
An applicant who does not meet the formal requirements or standards for full admission may be granted admission. North Greenville University generally offers undergraduate foundational courses at various times throughout the year. An individual having foundational deficiencies may not enroll in any of the program’s courses until all deficiencies have been removed without permission of the dean of the program. A student with low test scores or a low undergraduate grade point average may be asked to take foundational courses.
A graduate student with a cumulative GPA below 3.0 is placed on academic probation. A student's GPA is calculated from the initial point of enrollment in North Greenville University graduate course work. Leveling courses are not included in calculating graduate GPA. A student whose GPA falls below 3.0 for two consecutive regular terms or who receives two grades of F is suspended from the Graduate Program for at least one year. For the purposes of this policy, compressed format summer terms are combined into a single term. To be reinstated to a degree program, the student must reapply to the graduate program, request reinstatement in writing, be approved by the Program Dean, the Associate Provost for Graduate Studies, and the Graduate Council.
