Waivers and Transfer Credits

A maximum of twelve credits may be waived and/or transferred into the MBA program.

Waivers: Previous coursework taken for credit can be evaluated to waive MBA foundation courses. Waivers will be approved based on: a) Related upper-level UG/Grad (certificate or degree) coursework with a B+ (3.3) or better within the last seven years, or b) CFA  (minimum level 1 completion) or, c) CPA professional certification.

Transfer credits: Previous coursework must be from an AACSB accredited College or University from a degree-seeking graduate program. Students must provide the Graduate Business Office with a copy of the course syllabus which will be sent to the appropriate academic chair. Once a course has been approved by the department chair, transfer credits will be entered into the student’s record upon receipt of an official transcript documenting a grade of B or better. Accepted Transfer courses count towards a student’s total credit requirement, but the grade is not calculated into the GPA. Transfer credits that are older than seven years will not be accepted.

Transfer/waiver credits are not accepted in the MAC, MBT, MSF, or MSBA programs.
