Students may be excused from a required course if they demonstrate equivalent mastery of the subject matter. Application for waiver should be made to the faculty member in charge of the required course on the waiver of course requirement form available from the Office of Student and Academic Services. When waivers are granted, the student then must substitute other courses to fulfill the total credit requirement for the degree. A maximum of 12 graduate credits earned outside of the program may be applied toward the M.P.P., 9 credits for the M.P.A.P., subject to approval by the program director.
