Course Substitution Policy
To substitute a business essentials 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 business essentials 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.
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.
