Under special circumstances, applications from applicants who do not possess an undergraduate degree, have a three-year undergraduate degree or who have an undergraduate degree with a grade point average of less than 3.0 (B) in the last 60 credit hours may be considered.

Normally this will equate to an acceptable professional designation and at least six years of managerial experience with supervisory and operational decision making responsibilities.

These applicants may be required to participate in a personal interview conducted in person, by telephone or by Skype.
