A student with prior experience, either through coursework or job experience, may be eligible to waive required courses. To obtain a waiver, students should submit a detailed, written request to the Associate Dean.
Waivers are rare and apply to required courses only.
The following policy applies only to those students who enrolled prior to January 2001. Normally the College requires for the master's degree a total of 60 quarter hours of graduate courses with a grade point average of 3.0 or higher. However, students who have competencies acquired through formal coursework or substantial experience may qualify with a minimum of 48 hours. A minimum of 30 semester hours of relevant graduate coursework at a U.S. institution or one year's full-time work experience is required. To apply for a credit reduction, students should fill out the request form available in room 306 and in the front of the mail folder rack in the lobby.
