Course Substitution Policy
To substitute a graduate business fundamentals certificate course with an approved elective, a student must have successfully completed equivalent academic coursework at the undergraduate/graduate level in the seven years prior to GCBF matriculation, with a grade of "B" or better, and provide official transcripts (with English translation, if applicable). A maximum of 3 credits of coursework can be substituted.
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 to a degree program, different from their certificate program's discipline area or beyond one year, will have coursework evaluated on a case by case basis for relevancy, current degree requirements and current Sawyer Business School waiver and transfer policies.
