competencies for long term career development. This program
develops, within managers, the skills and techniques for team
leadership coupled with integrity, social responsibility and a high
degree of professionalism. This program is designed to meet the
needs of three
groups of people:

areas and who seek to develop a more generalist perspective in
anticipation of advancement;
-Individuals with work experience and business degrees who wish to
build upon that foundation for further advancement;
SPECIAL ENROLLMENT ISSUES

course exam. Contact the course instructor for specific requirements
for selecting a proctor.

ACCESS TO FINANCIAL AID RESOURCES
- As a general rule, a graduate student must be enrolled half time
(at least five semester hours per term) in a degree program and must
be a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen to qualify for federal
and state financial aid. Financial aid forms are available through
the Florida Tech Graduate Center assigned to you. Although
applications are accepted throughout the year, students who wish to
file the Federal Processor of Need Analysis need to do so by
February 1, to ensure that all materials are received before the
March 15 priority deadline. Applications must be submitted annually
for each academic year. Further information about the financial aid
packages offered by Florida Tech can be found on our web site.
SPECIAL PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

SPECIAL GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
- The basic requirement for receiving any master's degree is a GPA
of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale where A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, F =
0. Both the overall GPA and the applicable program GPA must be 3.0
or greater for a master's degree to be awarded. The degree of Master
of Science in Management is conferred upon students who have
successfully completed (33) credit hours of graduate course work
plus other course requirements as listed on the student's approved
Graduate Program Plan. Students without adequate undergraduate
business courses will be required to complete all or part of the
program prerequisites. Students may choose elective courses with the
approval of both the faculty advisor and the department
head.Students with undergraduate credits for courses that they
believe are equivalent to the program prerequisites should consult
with their advisor concerning waiver of those prerequisites.
ACCESS TO ADVISING/MENTORING SERVICES
- Students should contact their assigned Graduate Center for
advising services.
SPECIAL TRANSFER POLICIES
- If the courses constitute a logical part of the student's
master's program, a maximum of 12 semester hours of transfer credit
from a regionally accredited institution may be accepted, with the
approval of the head of the appropriate academic unit and the dean
of the Graduate School, under the following conditions:
1. These courses must be eligible for graduate credit at the
institution where they were taken.
2. They must have been graded courses, and grades of at least B or
equivalent must have been earned in each course.
3. They must have been taken not more than six years prior to the
student's first enrollment at Florida Tech.
Transfer credits are not included in the computation of grade point
averages.
SPECIAL ENROLLMENT ISSUES
- Under certain circumstances, applicants to the Graduate School
can avoid delaying their education by registering for courses, for
one semester only, while their applications are being processed,
provided they are citizens or permanent residents of the United
States.
Students who register prior to admission are not eligible to receive
federal student financial aid until they are admitted to the
university. Such registration requires a preliminary review of
written documentation from the degree-granting institution (not
necessarily official) showing previous academic courses taken,
grades received and degrees awarded. The review should be carried
out by the academic unit head or his or her designee. Permission to
register pending formal acceptance requires a decision that there is
a high probability of eventual acceptance into the program applied
for and that registration prior to acceptance is in the best
interest of both the academic unit and the student.
In the event that applicants are denied admission while enrolled in
graduate courses, they will be given the option of either
withdrawing with full tuition refund or completing the courses
underway. If the applicant completes one or more graduate courses
prior to being denied admission or completes a course for any other
reason, he or she will not be given the option of withdrawing or
receiving a tuition refund after completing the course.
Check with your assigned Graduate Center for further information and
requirements.
SPECIAL ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS
- All distance learning students must maintain at least weekly
contact with their course instructor(s).
SPECIAL PROGRAM PREREQUISITES
- MTH 1701 College Algebra (or the equivalent) and computer
literacy are required prerequisites to the Masters of Science in
Management.
