Course Substitution Policy

To substitute for a healthcare certificate course, a student must have successfully completed equivalent academic coursework at the undergraduate/graduate level in the three years prior to matriculation (with a grade of "B" or better) and provide official transcripts (with English translations, if applicable). A student may substitute only one course, for 3 credits.

Candidates who apply to the MHA Program or MBA/Health Program within one year of completing their graduate certificate will have their courses applied to the graduate program, as long as a grade of "B" or better was earned in each 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.
