MPH students may be eligible to waive one or more of the core courses by taking and passing a comprehensive examination in the core course topic area. If the exam is passed, the number of hours required for the degree remains the same. Passing this exam allows the student to take 3 additional elective credits. Students are strongly encouraged to take another course in the same topic area. Exams will be scheduled the week prior to the start of fall semester only.
Core Course Waiver Examination Request - Request Receipt Deadline: CU Anschutz students - August 16, 2019; CSU and UNC students - July 29, 2019
