In order to graduate with a PEAL degree, students must maintain a 2.5 or better cumulative GPA, earn a "C" or better in all courses required to complete the major, be in good standing academically with the University and comply with University policies. In order to earn a teaching certification, students must meet and comply with the PEAL requirements and the requirements described in the Teacher Education Program section of this catalog.
