Can students who are not pursuing a degree take a course in the department?
Students not seeking a degree may be allowed to take course work in the Department. Two categories of non-degree status are offered by the Graduate School: Advanced Special Student and Visiting Graduate Student. Criteria for admission to either category are established by the Graduate School (see Graduate School Catalog for details). Advanced Special Student (GRAD) This status is designed for students who are not immediately interested in a degree program, but you wish to take graduate level courses. This status provides an opportunity for post-baccalaureate, post-master’s, and post-doctoral students to take graduate level course work in line with their interests and abilities. The Advanced Special Student status is not intended as a qualifying program for doctoral and master’s program, but up to 12 credits earned as an Advanced Special Student may be applicable to a degree program with the approval of departmental faculty.
