Course Waivers

All students who have graduated within two years prior to their enrollment in the MSBA program to potentially waive up to six units of MSBA coursework, as detailed in the equivalency table provided below. For courses not listed in Table 1 above, the department chair of Supply Chain, Operations, and Information Systems will examine the course materials and may approve waivers on a case-by-case basis. Waiver evaluations for non-USD students may also involve examinations and a related fee will be charged for each exam. To qualify for this waiver, students must (1) have earned grades of B or higher in the undergraduate courses and (2) meet any additional requirements (such as an exam). A minimum of 30 units must be completed at USD after enrolling in the MSBA program to fulfill degree requirements.
