Degree Progression Policy

All graduate certificate students must complete a minimum of 9 credits in the Sawyer Business School.

Candidates who apply within one year of completing their graduate certificate will have applicable courses applied to a Sawyer Business School (SBS) graduate degree program, in the same discipline as the certificate, as long as a grade of B or better was earned in that course.

Candidates, who apply beyond one year or from a certificate program outside their discipline, will have coursework evaluated on a case-by-case basis for relevancy, current degree requirements and current Sawyer Business School waiver and transfer policies.

Substitution Policy

To substitute a managerial skills graduate certificate course with an approved elective, a student must have successfully completed equivalent academic coursework at the undergraduate/graduate level in the seven (7) years prior to matriculation, "B" or better. Official transcripts (with English translations, if applicable) must be provided. A maximum of 3 credits of coursework can be substituted. All graduate certificate students must complete a minimum of 9 credits in the Sawyer Business School.
