Course Exemptions
If you have a strong background in any of the required courses, you can receive an exemption either by passing an exemption exam during your orientation program or through successful completion of comparable coursework during your undergraduate work. Exempting a course doesn't reduce the required number of courses you must complete. However, you can add more elective courses to expand your knowledge base.
