Credit for Professional Experience
A student requesting modification of the degree plan based on prior professional experience is required to prepare a detailed proposal outlining the specific equivalencies, no later than the first semester of study. This document should include a justification for acceptance of a modified plan and a specific listing of courses that the student wishes to become her/his course of study. A faculty committee will consider, in a timely manner, the proposal and accept, decline, or propose changes to this plan on a case by case basis. If requirements are waived, the student will be expected to take alternative courses that relate specifically to her/his career goals and accumulate the required 60 credits.
