Non-Degree Seeking Admissions

Under special circumstances, non-degree-seeking students may enroll in doctoral courses with the consent of the Director of the program, on a space available basis. Non-degree seeking students include (a) those with MSWs, requisite practice experience, and strong transcripts who request to take courses not available in their home programs, explicitly for transfer to the home institution (guest students); (b) those with MSWs, requisite practice experience, and strong transcripts who request to take selected doctoral courses for professional development purposes. No more than 12 credits can be taken on a non-degree seeking basis, and permission to take courses on a non-degree seeking basis neither implies nor assures a student of acceptance in the Ph.D. program should they choose to apply. Up to 12 non-degree credits may be accepted toward the Ph.D. if a student applies to and is accepted in the program as a degree-seeking student.
