NON-DEGREE PROGRAM
The non-degree program is designed for public service professionals who are interested in sharpening certain skill sets to advance their professional development, but do not want to pursue a full master’s degree. Non-degree programs consist of a maximum of 12 credits (generally four classes).
Non-degree applicants must possess the same qualifications required for acceptance into a degree program, and must undergo the same application review process. Applicants must apply by the appropriate deadlines and are not eligible for scholarship consideration.
