Prerequisites
Some courses may have prerequisites. Students should demonstrate verifiable courses they have taken in home universities to fulfill the prerequisite requirement. Students should not apply if they don’t meet the prerequisites.

 After they are admitted, students are required to file a petition to the certificate program academic department to waive the prerequisite (I will do it on behalf of students). This may require them to identify the similar courses they have taken and provide a course description if necessary. Program Specialist will be in touch with the country office with more details when filling the petition.
