What Are Non-Degree Studies?
At Rutgers University, our School of Graduate Studies will accept students with baccalaureate degrees to enroll in a limited number of courses as non-matriculated students. Permission to take non-degree courses is contingent upon fulfillment of the specific course prerequisites and the availability of facilities to accommodate the applicant. Many of our applicants are professionals who are seeking to further their knowledge of biomedical sciences or striving to advance their careers through continuing education.
Deadlines for applying:
Fall Semester- July 15
Spring Semester- November 15
Once accepted, non-matriculated students may enroll for up to 15 credit hours total. Registration is limited to six credits per semester. Students must obtain the approval of the Course Director and the appropriate approval form signed by the Registrar.
