4 GENERAL INFORMATION Evaluation Antioch University Midwest does not award letter grades. Antioch University Midwest believes the educational process is better served by providing candidates an alternative means of assessment rather than traditional letter grades. Credit for a course is awarded if you ve performed at a level that is considered a B or better in a graded system. While letter-grade equivalents are not routinely given, Antioch acknowledges that some employers require this type of grade delineation for tuition reimbursement. Candidates who need letter-grade documentation should see the program s staff for appropriate forms and procedures. Master s Degree If you are interested in a future Master s degree, AUM provides the opportunity for AREL teachers. For more information please contact Dr. Burga Jung at (937) or [email protected].
