Exemptions

From time to time students are exempted from certain of the course offerings or other requirements. This is generally because they have taken similar courses or have similar experience elsewhere. All requests for exemption should be discussed with the Graduate Chair. (See also Transfer of Credits.)

Students who have been exempted from particular courses must still plan on taking a total of at least 36 credits to satisfy the requirements for the MA. In other words, if a person is exempted from SLS 441, this does NOT mean that the student can take 33 credits and satisfy the requirements for the MA. A further 3 credits of course work must normally be completed on another topic.
