I already have an agent's or broker's license. 听Is it possible to waive RE 412 or 414 based on this?

No.听 In order to ensure that students are adequately prepared for the required courses in the real estate program, they must take all of the courses. 听This ensures that students receive the necessary preparatory education and can be successful in the higher level courses. 听As a recipient of the major or minor in real estate, you will represent that you have taken a series of courses that will help you be successful in the real estate field.
