Previous Coursework

Some students enter the MQM Program having had previous graduate course work. Many times, that course work allows them to satisfy a cognate area or College of Education general requirements. Sometimes that course work allows them to begin taking intermediate level courses during their first year of study. Students who have taken previous relevant courses from another university or MSU department and would like to substitute that work for MQM required courses (e.g., CEP 900, CEP 920, CEP 921, CEP 930, CEP 932, or CEP 933) should request a review of the previous course's suitability as a substitution by submitting a Credit Evaluations Request. All course substitutions are subject to approval by the student's guidance committee.
