A student whose GPA falls below 3.00 after taking 9 or more credits in the program will be on academic grade probation. He or she must comply with all Baruch College requirements of grade probation status to continue in the program. Please Please refer to the current current Baruch College Graduate Bulletin, discussion of General Academic Regulations, for information on these requirements.
Because this is a cohort program, all students take the same courses together and in the same order. Many of the later courses in the program have one of the earlier core courses as prerequisites. Any student who enters grade probation status may thus not be able to complete the EMS HRM program within the period of about 20 months.
