   3. PharmD:  At least a 2.0 GPA by the end of each semester.  
2. Progress at a satisfactory rate toward completion of their program.
   1. MHA, MPH, and MSN students, at the end of the evaluation period, must have successfully completed at least 50% of all coursework that the student has attempted in the program. A description of the calculation is given below.
