Course Details

1) New courses are being added all the time and individually designed courses can be created to fit the needs of each student. Suggestions for new courses are always entertained.

2) All bachelor's degrees at Superior State University require at least 200 academic credits to graduate (a regular four-year degree using any credit system).

3) Most courses are worth between one (1) and five (5) academic credits. Most courses however are worth five (5) academic credits; therefore, in general about 40 courses are needed for graduation in the undergraduate school.

4) At least an accumulative average of a 2.0 grade point average is necessary for graduation. (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1) Add the total “high points” and divide by the number of courses (4 A's and 6 B's) i.e. 34 high points: Divided by 10 (courses) gives a 3.4 grade points average or GPA.

5) Courses from other institutions, which are transferred to Superior State University for academic credit, are classified as Pass/Fail only.

6) For graduate school courses (Master's and Ph.D.) please check our graduate school catalogue or contact our representatives in your country. Most undergraduate courses/majors can be continued in our graduate school. One hundred credits are required for each graduate school degree. Other requirements such as dissertations are often necessary for a graduate degree.
