Students are expected to satisfy the program prerequisites prior to enrolling in a second course and before any course that would require a specific prerequisite. Prerequisites can be satisfied only by obtaining a B grade or better in the department’s prerequisite course or by passing the department’s waiver exams.

A Waiver Exam is available for MET OM 500 (Mathematics for Management). Students must take this waiver prior to the start of classes or must sign up for MET OM 500 in the first semester. Available in either online or classroom format.

Exempt Exams
Exempt exams are provided for MET AC 630 (Financial and Managerial Accounting) and MET FI 631 (Financial Analysis). Students who pass these exams must replace each exempted exam with a four-credit concentration elective so as to graduate with the required 48 credits.
