Admission and Enrollment Status
Probationary Admission:
Probationary status will last a minimum of nine credit hours for required courses. This status will be removed if the student attains a grade average of B (3.00) or better for the required courses taken during the probationary period.
Transfer Credit:
Students who wish to transfer graduate course credit to Franciscan University of Steubenville’s MBA Program may be permitted to do so up to a total of six credits taken within the last seven years. However, these transfer credits will be accepted only after the student has successfully completed a minimum of six credits with at least a B in each required course in the Franciscan MBA program. Following the successful completion of six credit hours of graduate required courses at Franciscan University of Steubenville, the faculty will review the transfer of credits request and will notify the student of a decision.
