Pre-requisite classes provide the necessary foundation for students to be successful in their graduate level coursework.  Students who have recently completed a business degree will have the majority of their prerequisites fulfilled. Additionally, students with extensive work experience in prerequisite subjects may be able to waive some courses.

Pre-requisites do NOT need to be completed in order to gain admission to the program.

Each student works with his or her advisor to assess pre-requisites and determine the most time and cost effective way to fulfill any incomplete pre-requisites. Gonzaga offers a series of combination courses and CLEP proficiency exams to expedite this process.

For an individual pre-requisite evaluation, please contact Kristen Paul, Prospective Student Advisor, at paulk@gonzaga.edu.
