The average of grades for all courses taken in fulfillment of degree requirements at Medaille must be at least a B (3.0). It is the student's responsibility to monitor his or her cumulative quality point average, insuring that any grades falling below B are offset by corresponding grades above B. A student whose grade point average falls below a 3.0 is automatically placed on academic probation.

The M.S. in Ed. Program can be completed in two semesters (12 hours of course work per semester), and one summer session (6 hours of course work) provided that the research project is also completed and approved.
