Overview
The Sawyer Business School offers Accelerated and Standard Pathway programs for qualified graduate students starting in the fall and spring.
The Accelerated Program is a one semester program which typically requires one Academic English course and three (3) required SBS graduate courses. The Accelerated Pathway Program is only offered in the fall or spring terms.
The Standard Pathway Program is a two semester program which typically requires two Academic English courses and two (2) required SBS graduate courses in semester one followed by two (2) additional Academic English courses and two (2) required SBS graduate courses in semester two. The Standard Pathway Program is only offered in the fall or spring terms. Students who begin the Standard Pathway Program in the fall will enroll in 2 consecutive terms-fall and spring. Students who begin the Standard Pathway Program in the spring will enroll in 2 terms-spring and fall. The summer term is not a required term, therefore, no SBS Graduate Pathway courses are offered.
SBS graduate course credits, earned in the SBS Accelerated or Standard Pathway Program, will apply to the corresponding graduate degree program if successful progression requirements are met. SBS Graduate Pathway students must meet all academic standing requirements and policies to remain within their SBS Graduate Pathway and subsequent SBS graduate program.
Notes:
- Courses may vary based on availability and term.
- Upon successful completion of the MSM Pathway program, the student must follow the requirements of the Master of Science in Marketing program.
