A grade point average of at least 2.750 based upon the last 60 credit hours of coursework (or nearest semester or term break to this). Students who do not meet the 2.750 grade point average requirement may be admitted to this category on probation if reasonable evidence exists to indicate their ability to perform satisfactorily in graduate coursework.
