DEGREES and PROGRAMS OF STUDY

Undergraduate | Graduate | Non-Degree Status | Recertification | Certification Only

Certified educators who are not seeking a degree, but who wish to take courses in education for the purposes of professional development, may be admitted as non-degree students.

• Apply directly through the Graduate School Office.
• Non degree seeking applicants must submit a paper application along with a $10.00 processing fee.

The non-degree graduate student subsequently may be reclassified as a regular-degree student in an M.Ed. program. In order to accomplish reclassification as a regular-degree student, the candidate must submit two letters of recommendation, a graduate course transcript with at least a 3.0 GPA (if courses have been completed) and other requirements listed above. No more than a total of 6 credit hours of work taken in non-degree status may be applied toward degree requirements if the student is later admitted to a degree program. Non-degree status is not intended to be a temporary classification for those found ineligible for admission to the degree program.

Certified educators who are not seeking a degree, but who wish to take courses in education for the purposes of recertification, need to submit the appropriate form to the School of Education, Health, and Human Performance (86 Wentworth Street).
