Overview
The Sawyer Business School offers Accelerated and Standard programs for qualified graduate students starting in the fall and spring semesters.
The Accelerated Program is a one semester program, offered in the fall or spring, that typically requires two (2) Academic English courses and four (4) required SBS graduate courses.
The Standard Program is a two semester program, offered in the fall or spring, that typically requires three (3) Academic English courses and three (3) required SBS graduate courses in semester one followed by two (2) Academic English courses and two (2) required SBS graduate courses in semester two. Students who begin the Standard Program in the fall will enroll in two consecutive semesters - fall and spring. Students who begin the Standard Program in the spring will enroll in two semesters - spring and fall. The summer semester is not required; therefore, no SBS graduate courses are offered.
SBS graduate course credits earned in the SBS Accelerated or Standard Program will apply to the corresponding graduate degree program once progression requirements are met. SBS Integrated Master's Program students must meet all academic standing requirements and policies to remain within their SBS Integrated Master's Program and subsequent SBS graduate program.
Notes:

Courses may vary based on availability and semester.

Upon successful completion of the Integrated Master's Program in Accounting Essentials, the student must follow the requirements of the Master's of Science in Accounting Essentials program.
