Foundation Course Waiver Exams

Foundation Course Waiver Exams

The foundation requirements may be satisfied by passing a waiver exam. Students who feel that they have a strong background in Accounting, Macroeconomics and/or Statistics may attempt to waive the course(s) through waiver exams as listed in the table below. 

To qualify for the waiver option, a passing score must be submitted to the Graduate Admissions Office by the completion of the first 12 credit hours in the MBA Program or by the end of the 2nd enrolled semester (whichever comes first).  Students not completing the waiver exams within this time frame will be required to enroll in the foundation course(s).

See the table below for minimum passing scores as designated by the College of Business.
