Substitutions

Stated by the catalog on this program's requirements:

• Foundations of Professional Communication (CMN 6005) is required for students who are developing their English-language skills, have not previously studied in the United States, and/or have not yet had professional work experience. Otherwise, students begin the program with Communication Research and Strategy (CMN 6150) and complete an additional elective to substitute for the Foundations of Professional Communication (CMN 6005) requirement.
• In rare cases and at the program's discretion, students may request a course substitution or transfer credit for Foundations of Project Management (PJM 6100). A student may qualify for the course substitution if they have at least three years of direct project management experience; the student may complete any other PJM elective, concentration, or core course (as long as they have met the prerequisites) to meet minimum required coursework hours for this program. A student may qualify for transfer credit if they hold their Project Management Professional certification.
• Social Media Fundamentals (CMN 6800) is intended for students without social media experience and should be completed first in the student's academic plan for completion of this concentration.
