Registration:
Students are required to complete the Ph.D. program in
seven years, if they enter with a relevant master's degree,
or in eight years, if they enter without a master's.
Students must maintain full-time registration (defined
as twelve credits per semester) during their period of
course work. Dropping a course, which must be done before
the final examination period, requires the permission
of the executive officer and the specialization coordinator.
Students may apply for a leave of absence from doctoral
study by writing to the executive officer detailing the
reason for the request, but they cannot take more than
four one-semester leaves during their program. The period
of authorized leave is not included within the time limit
for completion of the degree.
|
Transfer
Credits: Beginning students can transfer six credits
of previous graduate work. Transfer credits may apply
toward the degree, provided the courses were completed
with a grade of B or higher within an appropriate period
preceding the time of application.
|
En-Route
MBA: A student in good standing is eligible for an
MBA after completing 45 credits of course work including
at least one course in accounting, finance, marketing,
and organizational behavior and passing the Preliminary
Research Paper. The student may apply for the degree en-route
by writing to the executive officer and requesting it.
The degree is a Baruch College MBA. As such it requires
a 3.0 grade point average.
|
Candidacy:
Upon completion of course work and the second examination,
a student is advanced to candidacy upon submission of
a form that specifies the dissertation title and committee
membership, and is signed by the advisor, the coordinator,
and the executive officer.
|
Academic
Progress: Each student's progress is monitored every
year by the executive officer and specialization coordinator.
Students are expected to maintain good academic standing
and make steady progress toward the degree, as measured
in course credits attempted and completed, length of time
in the program, and grades earned. Student must have at
least a B average to graduate.
The Graduate Center has several different standards that
define satisfactory progress. Students who fall short
of these standards will not be allowed to register until
the executive officer clears the student's registration.
Specifically,
o students cannot have more than two outstanding grades,
o students must maintain a GPA of 3.0,
o students must complete the first examination prior to
completion of 45 credits of coursework, and finally,
o students must complete their degrees within 7 years
(8 if they have no masters degree).
|
Grading
System: Students are expected to maintain an average
of B throughout the program. An incomplete grade (INC)
must be resolved within two semesters. If not done, unresolved
incomplete grades will appear permanently on student records
as incomplete (INP) and accrue no credit. Students with
more than two temporary incompletes are not considered
to be making satisfactory progress toward the degree and
cannot take the First Examination.
|
| Termination From
the Program: Students who violate generally acceptable
standards of personal or academic behavior, who exceed
the time limit set by the university for earning the degree,
or whose academic performance fails to meet the university's
standards, may be terminated from the program by the executive
officer upon recommendation of the Executive Committee.
The student has the right to appear before the Executive
Committee of the program in support of his or her retention.
The student may, within fifteen instructional days of
the decision, appeal the Executive Committee's ruling
by writing to the Provost of the Graduate Center. |
