Undergraduate 100-level courses listed may fulfill graduate requirements upon approval of the professor and the program director, and agreement on additional work necessary to raise the course to graduate level. The professors in question have been alerted that graduate students may be taking their undergraduate courses and are favorably disposed to granting approval. Petition forms for this are available in the Academic Advising Office on the third floor of the Elliott School of International Affairs.
