- A grade-point average of at least 2.85 (A=4.0), calculated only from University of Arkansas graduate courses in this curriculum.
- Completion of program, including transfer credit, if any, within six consecutive calendar years.
- Satisfactory completion of a comprehensive examination prior to graduation.
- Graduation application and graduation fee of $30.00 (If a student fails to complete the degree in the semester for which the application was filed, the student must renew the application and pay a renewal fee of $5.00)
All tuition and fees must be paid in full before a transcript or diploma will be issued.
Graduating students are invited (not required) to participate in General Commencement ceremonies on the Fayetteville campus.
Up to six semester hours of graduate level credit in appropriate courses from an accredited graduate school may, upon approval of the Graduate Dean, be transferred to this degree program provided that 1) the grades in the courses are "B" (3.0) or better, 2) the credit was earned within six calendar years prior to the completion of this degree program, and 3) residence credit requirements are met. Transfer credit will not be considered in the calculation of the grade-point average. Credit earned in quarter hours is translated into semester hours credit at the following rate: 1 quarter hour = 2/3 semester hour. Transfer of credit must be requested in writing by the student. Such requests should be sent to the Program Director.
To comply with Arkansas State Statutes, the University of Arkansas Graduate School requires each master's degree student to satisfy a residence credit requirement. Residence credit can be earned by taking University of Arkansas courses at any location in which this program is offered. Students who initially enroll in the Operations Management program after July 1997 may satisfy the residence requirement by completing 24 semester hours of degree-related enrollment. Students whose initial enrollment was prior to July 1997 must meet the 30 hour resident requirement as set forth in the brochure current at the time of their enrollment.
