Non-Degree Graduate Students

• If you wish to take graduate-level coursework without becoming a candidate for an advanced degree you may apply for admission to an Educational Administration program as a non-degree graduate student. You must hold a bachelor's degree in order to be eligible for the non-degree (graduate) program. Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) scores are not required.

• Admission must be recommended by the Department and approved by the graduate dean. Enrollment as a non-degree graduate student is limited to one year with a maximum of six hours of coursework .

• If you are a non-degree graduate student and decide to seek a graduate degree at a future date you must meet all requirements by the program's deadline and you must pay the application fee.

• A degree-seeking student may petition to have applied to the master's degree up to six semester hours of credit in graduate-level courses, earned while enrolled as a non-degree graduate student. Admission as a non-degree seeker does not guarantee future admission as a degree-seeker.
