WAIVER POLICY
|
Normally, waivers are decided within the first semester of study. Only courses with grades of "B" or higher may be used in meeting waiver guidelines for the required courses. Only required foundation courses may be waived. Students can waive the first-year courses through an equivalency examination on the same subject matter. A course that has been waived may not be taken or used for elective credits. No tuition refund or cancellation will be issued for courses taken and subsequently waived. Moreover, waiving of courses does not reduce the total minimum number of 39 credits needed to complete the program.
WAIVER GUIDELINESThe minimum course requirements, all taken within the last six years, for waivers are: MBA 500: Two courses in principles of or general management MBA 501: One course in macroeconomics and one course in microeconomics MBA 502: Two courses in statistics MBA 503: Two upper-division courses in finance MBA 504: Two upper-division courses in organizational behavior or industrial psychology MBA 505: Two upper-division courses in marketing MBA 506: One course in financial accounting and one course in managerial accounting MBA 507: Two courses in business law |
Any of the four required first-year courses may be waived on the basis of appropriate
undergraduate or graduate courses taken within the last six years at a regionally
accredited institution. Waivers will be considered at the time of admission; waivers
based on a "B" (3.0) or higher in the appropriate courses will be considered. Students
who seek transfer credit must submit a written request (with a course syllabus or
course description of the previously completed coursework) to the MBA director during
the first semester of attendance.
