Asking for a friend who has a really low undergrad GPA but would like to pursue a graduate degree (which could be in *anything* at this point - including liberal studies). Are there any grad schools - like TESU - that will admit a student despite an embarrassing undergrad GPA?
Thanks for the help! You guys are my educational "one stop shop."

I'm not sure what WGU and Patten require, but I can't find anything on their website that says you have to have a specific GPA for their Grad programs.
TESU would be a VERY expensive Grad program, so I wouldn't even think about going there ($668/cr).

Do you guys know if the Patten MBA program would take someone with a low GPA?

Most of the for-profit and non-traditional schools don't care what your GPA was or have a very low minimum such as 2.0. They usually only have GPA requirements for programs with programmatic accreditation or programs that lead to licensure such as nursing or public health. Why ask about Patten when you can just go to their website? The admissions requirements are on there. You need to do some of the research for yourself. There are way too many schools to list.
