Students must take or have previously taken these five courses at an accredited graduate or undergraduate institution or successfully complete an assessment.
15 credits (courses are three credits each):
• GSA 491 Applying the Behavioral Sciences to Management
• GSA 492 Application of Economic Theory
• GSA 494 Accounting for Managers
• GSA 495 Marketing Management
• GSA 496 Business Quantitative Tools and Statistics
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The qualifying course requirements may be waived by applying for Advanced Standing in any of these courses in recognition of previous graduate or undergraduate course work completed with a minimum of B- (2.8), not older than five years at the time of application.
Advanced Standing may also be granted upon successful completion of a relevant College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) subject examination. Only CLEP scores comparable to a B- (2.8), not older than five years, may be used.
Business Quantitative Tools and Statistics may be waived based on a successfully completed assessment.
If possible, the qualifying courses should be taken as beginning courses. Students who waive from two-to-five qualifying courses must still complete 37 credits to graduate, but may take the credits in elective courses. If a student waives one qualifying course, that student’s degree requirements are 40 credits. If no qualifying courses are waived, 43 credits are required.
