Who can take UMass Amherst Continuing and Professional Education courses?
CPE courses are ideal for working professionals, stay at home parents, human resources mangers looking for new opportunities for employees and/or UMass Amherst alumni. Anyone with a high school diploma or its equivalent (GED) may register as an undergraduate and may enroll in courses before being formally admitted to a degree program. However, if you are not formally admitted to a degree program, there may be restrictions on financial aid eligibility. Some courses may also require prerequisite college-level work. Finally, you must possess a bachelor’s degree to be admitted to a graduate degree program.
