Waivers and Transfer of Credit
Waivers
of program requirements may be granted in recognition of previous coursework
completed with grade “B” or better within the past six years in a specific
business program area. Waivers are approved by the appropriate program director
through a process that allows a student to skip a core course and take the next
higher level course in the same academic area with no reduction in the overall
program hour requirements.
Transfer
of credits may be granted for equivalent graduate course work taken at other
universities with a grade of “B” or better within the past six years. Up to 9
credit hours of course work from other universities may be waived from or
transferred to the MS-SCMT program. Please visit the UT Dallas Graduate Catalog
for further details at www.utdallas.edu/student/catalog/.
Prerequisites

If a student has not taken an equivalent course already, he/she will
