To the extent that resources permit, the faculty considers admitting qualified students to courses without requiring them to enroll in a degree program. For information on which programs offer nondegree study, students should telephone the admissions office at 973/353-5205. Students who complete successfully courses under the nondegree program may receive as many as 12 graduate degree credits. To exercise this option, students must seek the credit within five years of taking the courses. In addition, they must apply and win admission to a graduate degree program appropriate to the courses completed. Students are expected to maintain at least a B average in their course work.
