Non-Degree Applicants
A person with an accredited bachelor’s degree or its foreign equivalent who is qualified for graduate work, but who does not wish to enter a degree program, may apply to a department or program in the Division of Graduate Medical Sciences for admission as a special student with non-degree status. The completed application and a transcript of the most recent degree awarded should be submitted along with the application fee. Results of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) are not required. Application for a change from non-degree to degree status must be made before the admission deadline for the semester of intended enrollment. Except under unusual circumstances, no more than 8 credits for a MA degree program or 16 credits for a PhD degree program may be credited toward the degree, and only if the grades received are B or higher.
