Course Substitution Policy
To substitute an accounting certificate course with an approved elective, a student must have successfully completed equivalent academic coursework at the undergraduate/graduate level in the five (5) years prior to matriculation, "B" or better. Official transcripts must be provided (with English translation, if applicable). All graduate certificate students must complete a minimum of 9 credits in the Sawyer Business School.
Degree Progression Requirements
Candidates who apply within one year of completing their graduate certificate will have applicable courses applied to Sawyer Business School (SBS) graduate degree programs 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.
