requirement needed for application to graduate programs.

Prerequisite Courses

If you studied outside of the US, you will be asked to provide a credential
evaluation of your undergraduate studies to verify if you have already completed
the prerequisite courses in your major field of study. In certain cases, a student
may be required to enroll in prerequisite courses to make up any deficiencies in
the major field of study. (Click here for a list of approved credential evaluation
companies that we accept.)
