The Graduate School of Education welcomes students to take classes on a non-degree basis. Applicants should file an application with the Office of Graduate and Professional Admissions. Applicants who are accepted as non-degree students are permitted to register for an unlimited number of courses with approval of the appropriate department chair. Such courses carry full Rutgers University credit; in most programs, however, a maximum of 12 credits will be accepted by the school toward a degree should the student later be admitted to a degree program.

Non-degree students who wish to enter a degree program in the Graduate School of Education must file a separate application and fee for admission with the Office of   Graduate and Professional Admissions. Successful completion of non-degree coursework does not guarantee later admission to a degree program.

NOTE, not all education courses can be taken on a non-degree basis.  Please contact the Office of Student and Academic Services for information and assistance:

Non-degree study is not available to international students.
