What is the minimum grade point average required for admission to the University of Oklahoma Graduate College?
The GPA for full admission is 3.00 over the last 60 hours of letter-graded coursework leading to the bachelors' degree. Conditional admission can be approved with a 2.75 to a 2.99 GPA over the last 60 hours of letter-graded coursework leading to the bachelors' degree. If a student has at least 12 hours of letter-graded graduate credit course work only the graduate work will be considered for admission. The student must have at least a 3.00 in these courses. However, some departments have more stringent GPA requirements.
What are my options if I am denied by the Graduate College?
Applicants denied by the Graduate College are most commonly denied because they are not able to meet the Graduate College GPA requirements. When this is the case the applicant can always contact the academic unit of interest to discuss options they might recommend. Alternatively, applicants denied by the Graduate College may take classes at another institution to raise their GPA or if they can get admitted to another graduate school, they may take 12 hours of graduate work and try reapplying to OU once 12 hours of graduate coursework is gained. We will then calculate the last 12 hours of any graduate work gained outside of OU which must meet the 3.00 GPA requirement.
