The comprehensive final exam at the end of the program will include material from all courses in the program. A student must pass this exam with a 70% or higher to graduate. The comprehensive final exam will not be factored into the student’s overall GPA. If a student does not pass the comprehensive exam, they will meet with the SPC and the Program Director who will determine if remediation is an option. If remediation is offered, the content will be up to the discretion of individual course directors and the Program Director.
- If a student needs to remediate or repeat coursework, they will still be required to take the comprehensive exam at the end of the Spring semester, but only the portion of the exam that corresponds to the courses they have completed successfully; the comprehensive exam section that corresponds to the remediated/repeated course(s) may be administered later upon successful completion of the remediated/completed course(s).
