Master's Programs

*

School of Continuing & Professional Studies students may apply a maximum of 6 units of pass/fail credit from graduate-level course work in the Olin Business School to a master's degree program in the School of Continuing & Professional Studies. The course work must be authorized by the School of Continuing & Professional Studies, and the student must have received a grade of Pass or High Pass in the Olin Business School course. Courses with grades of Low Pass are not eligible. This policy applies only to courses completed on a pass/fail basis in the Olin Business School prior to a student's admission to a School of Continuing & Professional Studies graduate program of study administered and conferred by the School of Continuing & Professional Studies. Once admitted to a School of Continuing & Professional Studies program of study, students who are authorized to take courses in the Olin Business School and apply them toward their program of study are required to convert pass/fail grades to letter grades at the time of registration.
