Additional Requirements
The program consists of a minimum of 30 semester hours of graduate coursework. Students must complete coursework in finance and elective business and/or non-business areas as approved by program leadership. Eighty percent of the student’s total coursework must consist of 5000-level courses; the remaining 20 percent may be 4000-level finance or non-finance courses (approximately six hours). Non-finance courses should be selected in consultation with the student’s graduate advisor. Non-finance courses at the 4000-level may be taken during the senior year of undergraduate study and applied to the master’s program, but they must be reserved for graduate credit and approved by the graduate program director prior to the first day of such classes. Courses reserved for graduate credit may also not be counted towards the undergraduate degree requirements. Approved reservation of courses for graduate credit does not guarantee admission to the graduate program.
The student must complete the required coursework with a minimum GPA of 3.000 on a 4.000 scale.
Any student falling below a cumulative GPA of 3.000 is automatically placed on probation for the following semester and must raise their GPA to 3.000 to avoid suspension. If the 3.000 GPA is not attained in the subsequent semester, the student will be suspended from the MS in Finance program and the University of Wyoming.
Student must maintain good academic standing at the program and university level and receive no letter grade of D or F. If a letter grade of D or F is received, student may be immediately dismissed from the program
