Quantitative Measure

The quantitative measure of academic progress also consists of two parts. The total hours attempted may be no greater than 150% of total hours required for the degree program in which the student is enrolled. When progress is checked, a student must earn at least 67% of the credit hours attempted. Below is the maximum attempted hours that will be allowed for any particular degree program:

Degree Credit Hours Required for Degree Credit Hours Attempted
Associate of Arts 61 91
Bachelor of Arts 120 180
 B.A. Middle Childhood Special Education Dual Prep - STEM  124 186
 B.A. Special Education/ Elementary Dual Prep  125 187.5
B.A. Public Accounting 150 225
Bachelor of Fine Arts 120 180
 B.M. Music Therapy 129 193.5
Bachelor of Music 120 180
Bachelor of Science 120 180
B.S. Environmental Engineering 137 205.5
B.S. in Petroleum Engineering 139 208.5

A student will be granted an allowance for one change of major or second degree. A student who changes his or her major will be allowed a maximum number of attempted credit hours equal to the credit hours attempted at the point of making the major change or starting the second degree plus the maximum allowable attempted hours for the new major. When progress is checked, a student must still earn at least 67% of the total credit hours attempted.

For a student pursuing a double major, the maximum credit hours attempted will be 150% of the total of the general education requirements plus the courses required for the two majors.
