Program Completion Requirements

All students are required to complete an end-of-program exam. This exam will be taken in the capstone course for the student's specific program in TMGT 7003 Managing Technology & Innovation Capstone. The end-of-program exam will also be considered an assignment in the capstone course. The benefit of taking the end-of-program exam is to test the student's knowledge at the time of graduation. Students may include the progress from the end-of-program exams on their resume. Exams will be taken once and they will impact the student's capstone course grade by 5%. Please refer to the syllabi for the relevant capstone course to know the grading scale for the end-of-program exam.

The end-of-program exams are required, not optional.

Information on how to take the exams will be given in the course prior to the end-of-program exam.

Be advised that a prior felony conviction may impede a student's ability to participate in an internship.
