All prerequisite (prereq) courses must be completed prior to beginning the program; without exception. Students may apply with outstanding prereq courses so long as the student demonstrates a plan to complete those courses before matriculating in the program. Accepted students completing prereq courses while applying will need to submit a final transcript demonstrating the successful completion of these courses. Comparable courses from regionally accredited institutions are acceptable. No prerequisite coursework with a grade below C will be accepted.
