Students with an Associate Degree
Students holding associate’s degrees from accredited colleges are encouraged to enroll in the College. Students may earn a bachelor’s degree upon completion of two or more additional years of full-time study; see the advisor in the major to determine a plan of study. The following regulations apply:
- Students must complete the equivalent of the specified University core.
- An overall grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.7 on a 4.0 scale in all undergraduate work.
- In all baccalaureate programs, a minimum of 64 hours must be taken at the 2000 to 4000 levels; of these a minimum of 32 hours must be taken at the 3000 and 4000 levels. Coursework from other institutions is accepted at the level at which the course was taught at that institution.
Change of Catalog Year
In some circumstances, students can benefit from program modifications to expedite graduation progress, and may change to the current catalog year from the catalog year under which they were admitted. Important to note, once a catalog year term is updated students may not revert back to previous catalog year term. Interested students should meet with their academic advisor to request a change to the new catalog year.
Readmission of Former Students
Undergraduate students who discontinue course work for a period of at least one academic year (not including summer) must request readmission to the University. Students who have taken any course work at another institution during the time they have been away from the University (other than transient status), must complete a new application in the Office of Undergraduate Admission and meet transfer admission requirements.
Students who have not taken course work for more than 12 months must comply with the college requirements at the time of readmission. When seeking readmission, students whose grade point average (GPA) is below 2.0 can only be readmitted on approval of the associate dean. Students with a GPA of 2.0 or higher may seek readmission in the College office.
Honors Program
The Honors Program in the Judith Herb College of Education provides opportunities for challenging and individualized study for undergraduate students of unusually high ability, motivation and initiative.
