Student Progress & Grading The following grading system is used in the Graduate Program in Public Health: A (4.0), A- (3.67), B+ (3.33), B (3.00), B- (2.67), C+ (2.33), C (2.00), C- (1.67), and F (0.00). Unless specified differently in the course syllabus, course grades on a 100 point scale are: A (93-100); A- (90-92); B+ (87-89); B (83-86); B- (80-82); C+ (77-79); C (73-76); C- (70-72); F (69 or lower). Students must maintain an overall 3.0 average in all the Core Courses. Students may receive a grade less than B- in one course, without being penalized. After earning one course grade less than B-, students will be required to repeat any other courses in which they receive a grade less than B-. All courses in the concentration must receive a B or better. All selectives (if available) must be listed as listed in the bulletin or approved by the program director in order to count toward completion of the degree. In order to encourage students to develop excellent writing skills, course grades will reflect the quality of writing in course assignments. The specific policy on grading the quality of writing will be the prerogative of the course instructor, and it must be explained in the course syllabus. The various degree program requirements for the Graduate Program in Public Health are rigorous, and students must be able to devote sufficient time to meet the performance standards required. Each degree or certificate program has varying timelines for completion and is pending on whether the candidate is full-time or part-time. The following table indicates the minimum and maximum completion rate:
