Graduate SchoolNon-Degree Students
A limited number of applicants may be admitted as nondegree students. Admission criteria and application procedures are contained on the nondegree application.
Admission as a nondegree student is considered for one of the following four reasons:
- Anticipated Admission - The applicant is planning to apply as a degree student, but is uncertain as to the program or time of formal admission. A maximum of twelve (12) credits may be taken prior to admission. Credits will only apply toward the degree if they are part of the curriculum.
- Enrichment - The applicant is taking master-level courses for personal and / or professional enrichment. A master's degree is not envisioned.
- PA School Certification - The applicant is applying only for Pennsylvania school certification. Application for a master's degree is not included.
- Transfer - The applicant is taking master-level courses to transfer to his / her program at another institution. The student must supply a letter from the college stating that the student is in good standing and transfer credit will be accepted.
Coursework requirements for nondegree students are the same as for degree students. Upon completion of the requirements, credit as awarded and a transcript is available.
