Coursework Considered in Admissions Review

While not required, applicants who have completed one or more of the program-specific general education courses prior to applying may have those grades included in the admissions review. A minimum grade of C is required for any of these courses to be considered. Courses may also be reviewed with attention to whether they were completed successfully on the first attempt
