Waiver Policy

Core courses may be waived. Required MBA Courses (MBA 600, MBA 780 and MBA 800) cannot be waived.

To waive a Core Course a student must successfully complete equivalent academic coursework at the undergraduate/graduate level in the past seven years (“B”or better).

All waiver requests are evaluated upon a student’s acceptance into the Global MBA Program and are waived during the student’s first semester. A student receives credit for each course waived, thereby reducing the total number of courses for the Global MBA. You may also elect to take a proficiency exam to gain a waiver. Proficiency exams must be completed in the first semester. All students must, however, complete a minimum of 33 credits (10 courses, GMBA 601, and MBA 600) in the Sawyer Business School.
