Course Substitution Policy

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

Degree Progression Requirements

All graduate certificate students must complete a minimum of 9 credits in the Sawyer Business School.

Candidates who apply to the MHA Program, MBA/Health Program, or MSBA/MHA Dual Degree 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 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.
