Academic Advising
MHROD students meet with the program director to discuss scheduling classes and selecting electives based on personal interests and circumstances. Academic advising provides an opportunity to continuously monitor students’ progress and individualize their programs of study. All graduate students are required to maintain a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale for duration of the program.
Academic Honors
Dean’s Fellows – Applicants with high scholastic achievement, a high GPA, and strong work experience may apply for the Dean’s Fellows program. Dean’s Fellows receive funding for course materials and the opportunity to participate in high-level research projects and community service.
Outstanding Graduate – At each commissioning, the graduate faculty may honor a single graduate with the distinction of Outstanding Graduate. The award is primarily based on academic achievement, but when a secondary factor is needed to make a selection, the committee determines which of the outstanding candidates contributed most to the APU MHROD learning community.
