Students who have already taken any of the lock-step courses may opt to waive the course. Up to 9 credit hours can be considered for such waivers. There will be no course substitutions for such waived courses. There will be no tuition credits for waived courses.

The internship course has a flexible credit hour and will be tailored to the student’s needs. For example, the internship course can be spread over the first year summer and second year fall and spring, with one credit hour each (if the student obtains an internship locally).
