AMU grants full acceptance to individuals who have a clear aim of the competencies and skills to be achieved from the Program, and whose previous academic work shows a minimum grade point average of 2.0. Students who do not meet the standards for full acceptance may be granted conditional acceptance for one semester, during which time they must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0. Students who do not maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA will be suspended.
The Bachelor’s Degree Completion Program is a 120-credit program. Bachelor Completion applicants must have a minimum of 90 semester hours to transfer into the program. All AMU Degree levels require a Project employing action research. It is expected that a) 60 of those 90 credits will have resulted in an award of an Associate’s Degree, which covers the required areas of general education, from an institution accredited by U.S. Department of Education, b) 30 upper-level credits. Bachelor graduates are required to have 30 credits of general education; 15 credits each in the associate’s and “senior” levels. For students who transfer in with an Associate of Science Degree with only 15 general education credits, AMU will require the completion of 15 additional general education credits as a precondition of degree completion at AMU. Applicants without an awarded Associate’s Degree must submit an official transcript(s) which show a) that a minimum of 60 credits are from an institution accredited by the U.S. Department of Education and that the required areas of general education have been covered, c) 30 upper-level credits. An official high school transcript is required for those submitting transcripts of at least 60 credits without an Associate’s Degree. Submit to registrar@AMU-edu.com.
