The following master's degrees are offered by the Marywood University Department of Business and Managerial Science:

• Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree
• Master of Science (MS) degree program

• Admission to Degree Candidacy:
  To be eligible for candidacy you must:
  File an application for admission to candidacy with the Chair according to the criteria of the program and upon completion of twelve hours of graduate work with a B average. Applicaton forms are available in the Business and Managerial Science Office, Liberal Arts Center Room 215.
  
• Standards for Continued Candidacy
  A student who obtains two F's in a program, for whatever reason, will be dismissed from the Business and Managerial Science Programs. Students who fail to maintain a 3.00 average in their course work once they have achieved candidacy status are subject to probation for two semesters and dismissal from the degree program if 3.00 is not achieved in the third semester.
  
• Leave of Absence Policy
  The Graduate Business and Managerial Science Programs will consider a serious student-initiated petition for leave of absence from studies in any degree program. Students who cannot actively pursue their degree studies for more than two consecutive semesters (including summer sessions) are advised to seek an approved leave of absence. Without any documented and approved leave of absence recorded, students will be held strictly accountable to the seven year time limit for degree completion. The time limit applies to all degree requirements including a degree candidate's professional contribution and any other degree closure experience/requirements. Failure to return to graduate studies by the specified date from an approved leave of absence may result in the administrative withdrawal of the student from the University by the Registrar. No leave of absence will be granted without the prior approval of the Chair and the Dean of the College. The maximum additional time permitted through any combination of leaves of absences within one degree experience is two calendar years. Leave of absence petitions must generally be filed with the program at least two months prior to the semester they are proposed to take effect.
  
• Time Limitation for Degrees
  All requirements for a master's degree must be completed within seven calendar years unless the student has been granted a leave of absence for medical or other good reason. This period of time is rarely extended. Written application for extension, with full documentation of serious cause, must be made to the Chair of the program in which the student is enrolled. Any extension must have the approval of both the Chair and the Dean.
