To maintain good academic standing and determine eligibility for continuation in the major, students must maintain the minimum GPAs as stated above. The School of Management reviews the academic records of all students in an approved management major at the end of each fall and spring semester. If a course is repeated, the School of Management will only look at the grade earned the second time, even if the grade is lower than the grade earned the first time. Students may not enroll in any major course for a third attempt without permission of the department. *In order to continue in the combined program and take the 600 level concentration courses, students must earn a UB and overall GPA of >=3.250 at the end of each academic year. If the standards are met, the student will be waived of the necessity to submit a GMAT or a GRE score, and will continue seamlessly to the Master’s program in the fifth year. The Graduate Programs Office will continue to guide the student through the admissions process as required by The Graduate School at UB (minus the application fee) and provide advisement through completion of the MS degree. If the standards are not met, the student will be moved to the BS program to complete degree requirements. Curricular Plan
