Academics & Admissions
Admission Policies
Admission to the School – First-semester freshmen entering the School of Applied Sciences must meet the same requirements as those for general admission to the university. Students having completed at least one academic semester who wish to transfer into the school must contact the dean's office for additional admission requirements and regulations governing change of majors within the school. The School of Applied Sciences requires students entering into its degree programs to follow the requirements of the catalog in effect upon the date in which the student officially declares the major. Listed below are the general education courses that the School of Applied Sciences requires for all undergraduate degree programs.
General Education
The University General Education is in alignment with the 30-32 credit hours of coursework set by the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL).
- English Composition - 6 hours of English composition
- Mathematics - 3 hours of college algebra or quantitative reasoning or statistics (taken from a department of mathematics) or a more advanced mathematics course1
- Natural Science - 6-8 hours of natural science with labs
- Humanities – 6 hours of humanities
- Fine and Performing Arts Appreciation – 3 hours of fine and performing arts appreciation
- Social Science - 6 hours of social or behavioral science courses. Some degree programs might have more specific choices within the list of courses above. See each program's catalog page for specific details of the requirements.
College/School-wide Degree Requirements
Professional core course work for newly admitted students, readmitted students, and transfer students must be current within a seven-year period at the time of admission to a program, unless more current course work is required by accreditation standards; there will be no limit on general course work. Within the University of Mississippi's academic residency requirement which states that at least 30 semester hours of residence credit must be taken in the school or college recommending the degree, at least 15 of those hours must be professional courses required in the major.
Total Hours Required
All School of Applied Sciences degrees require a minimum of 120-124 applicable semester hours. See each program's catalog page for the specific minimum number of applicable semester hours.
GPA Requirements
The university requires a minimum overall and resident GPA of 2.0 for graduation. Some degrees within the School of Applied Sciences require the student to complete a minor. All minors, unless otherwise stated in the catalog, require a minimum overall and resident GPA of 2.0 for graduation. Please note that some applied sciences degrees also have their own professional GPA requirements, which are listed under the specific program requirements. Unless otherwise stated in the catalog under specific minor requirements (some minors require a minimum grade of C in each course applied toward the minor), an overall GPA of 2.00 or higher is required in all work applied toward a student's minor. Students must earn at least 6 hours of their minor courses in residence and must achieve a 2.00 average or higher in all minor courses taken in residence.
Advanced Work Requirement
At least one-third of the hours applied toward a degree must be at the 3000 -, 4000 -, or 5000 - level. For example, a student qualifying for a degree with 124 semester hours must show at least 42 hours of work at the 3000 level or above.
Exercise and Leisure Activity Courses
While exercise and leisure activity (EL) courses are not required, a maximum of 6 hours of these courses may be counted toward a School of Applied Sciences degree. These Courses are taken only on a pass-fail grading basis.
Applying for degree
Each senior must apply for a degree by submitting an "Intent to Graduate" Form (on the School of Applied Sciences web site) to the dean's office in the semester preceding the semester in which the student expects to graduate. The dean's office sets the application deadlines and notifies students of their specified deadlines by e-mail. This deadline will allow the student time to make any schedule changes required to complete all degree requirements and should guard against the disappointment of having graduation delayed.
Upon receiving the student's Intent to Graduate form, the dean's office will complete a checklist using official transcripts on file to date and will then send the student a list of remaining courses/additional academic requirements that must be completed for the degree. It then becomes the responsibility of the student to complete the remaining requirements by the end of the semester in which the student wishes to graduate.
Diploma Application
If the dean's office verifies that the student is able to graduate during the term he or she has requested, the student will then receive an e-mail from the Office of the Registrar as notification that he or she has been authorized to complete a diploma application for the Office of the Registrar. The diploma application is an online form that must be filed during the semester of anticipated graduation. It is completion of this online form that puts the student on the list of graduates for a particular semester. Failing to submit the diploma application could result in the student's graduation being delayed or, at the very least, the absence of the student's name in the commencement program.
Walking in May Commencement Ceremony
The following students will be invited to participate in the May commencement ceremony: (a) December graduates - Students who completed all of their degree requirements in December of the current academic year. (b) May applicants - Students who will complete all of their degree requirements by the end of the spring semester of the current academic year. (c) August applicants - Students who plan to complete their final requirements by the end of the Full Summer Session of the current academic year.
The Office of the Dean will determine a student's eligibility for August graduation based on the number of remaining hours (no more than 3 credit hours can be taken during May intersession and no more than 12 hours can be taken during full summer session), course availability during the summer, and the student's eligibility to enroll in the final courses (all prerequisites must be met for final courses).
Advising
Freshmen in the School of Applied Sciences are assigned an academic adviser in the Center for Student Success and First-Year Experience for their first year at the university. All other students are assigned an academic adviser within their major. The academic adviser's primary role is to assist a student during registration periods in selecting courses appropriate for his or her degree program. In addition, the academic adviser is available throughout the student's entire course of study to discuss future plans or possible academic difficulties, as well as offering holistic advising support. Students are reminded, however, that the ultimate responsibility for meeting all degree requirements rests with the student.
Selecting and Changing Majors
Freshmen and transfer students entering the School of Applied Sciences must declare a major on the admissions application. Transfer students must have a transfer GPA of at least 2.0 to declare a major within the School of Applied Sciences. Students currently or previously enrolled at The University of Mississippi under a different major must request a change of major at the dean's office. A representative of the dean's office (e.g. academic advisor) will schedule an appointment with the student to discuss policies and procedures of the school in addition to remaining degree requirements. Students who have completed prior course work at The University of Mississippi must have a 2.0 GPA on all work attempted at the university (resident GPA) as well as on all work attempted at any institution of higher learning (overall GPA) in order to declare a major within the School of Applied Sciences.
