Deficiency of Requirements & Conditional Admission

If any of these qualifications is not met, exceptions may be made on the basis of professional or life experiences, if recommended by the GSB Director after consultation with the GSB Program Committee and granted by the Dean of Graduate Studies. If an exception is granted, the applicant will be admitted on a conditional basis, pending successful completion of nine semester hours of graduate work, including courses GSB 521 (Managerial Accounting) and GSB 531 (Managerial Economics). In cases where the student is judged to be deficient in the prerequisite courses, the student is required to successfully complete appropriate “undergraduate course equivalents” (without graduate credit) before unconditional admission status is granted. Students who lack prerequisites may take them at the Heidelberg at Arrowhead location, Tiffin’s traditional daytime program or at other institutions upon prior approval from the Director.
