When you are applying to graduate programs, make sure you have met the course prerequisites and requirements required by your program.

Required Classes

Some programs might have certain class prerequisites in order to be accepted or enrolled.

While programs may do this, many will give you “conditional admission,” which gives you a specified time period in order to complete the prerequisites while taking graduate level courses.

Testing Out of Required Classes

Some programs might also allow you to test out of taking the prerequisites by taking a CLEP (College Level Examination Program) exam.
