2008-2009 - Framingham State University

appropriate academic background may be permitted to waive the
two foundation courses.
Waivers are generally not granted if the corresponding
undergraduate course(s) were completed more than seven years
prior to application. Waivers are not granted for non-academic
prior learning, and are determined solely on the basis of the
student’s undergraduate or graduate record. All waivers require
written approval by advisor.
Students are expected to be familiar with office/management
level software.
Students may take courses in any sequence subject to the
following general requirements:
1. Students must complete the two foundations courses early
in their program as these are prerequisite courses to core
courses and electives.
2. Students must observe prerequisites. Courses taken
without the proper prerequisites will not be applicable to the
student’s degree requirements unless written approval is
obtained from the student’s advisor.
3. MGMT 985 Seminar in Human Resource Management is the
culminating course in the student’s program. Registration
requires prior written permission from the Associate Dean
of Graduate and Continuing Education. Students will
not be permitted to fulfill this requirement with a course
transferred from another institution. The seminar can only
be taken in the last semester of study. Exceptions, requiring
written advisor approval, may be made for students taking
an elective course over the summer.
