Admission to the Degree Curriculum
In addition to meeting the requirements for classified graduate standing in the university and admission to the Fowler College of Business, as described above, and in Requirements for Master’s Degrees , the student must have satisfactorily completed equivalents of the following courses:
In Addition
Satisfactory completion means that the student’s grade in each course must be a B (3.0) or better. The requirement to complete the pre-admission requirements courses may be waived by the director of graduate business programs under special circumstances. Waivers are determined by evaluating prior course content, institution at which courses were taken, grades received, and time since courses were taken. Current students are required to complete any needed program prerequisites by enrolling in graduate courses and may not satisfy prerequisites by enrolling in undergraduate equivalency courses.
Notice of admission to a curriculum with classified graduate standing will be sent to the student upon the recommendation of the Fowler College of Business and the approval of the dean of the College of Graduate Studies.
Advancement to Candidacy
All students must satisfy the general requirements for advancement to candidacy, as described in Requirements for Master’s Degrees .
Students concurrently enrolled in deficiency coursework may be given permission to take the comprehensive examination in their concentration prior to actual completion of all coursework. However, comprehensive examinations will not be evaluated and results will not be reported to the College of Graduate Studies until all deficiency coursework has been successfully completed. This may delay graduation.
