Graduate Non-Degree Program
What is Non-Degree?
Non-degree is an academic term for "not formally accepted into a degree program." It is a great way to start your graduate career or to gain personal and professional growth. As a non-degree student, you take the same courses as other graduate students while earning the same college credit.
You should apply as a Graduate Non-Degree Student if you:
- Are registering for courses defined by a 500 number or above
- Have a Bachelor’s Degree and intend on taking graduate level courses
- Plan to enroll in both graduate and undergraduate courses during the same semester
