Program Details
- Course Access: Non-degree students can register for any course in the forensic science program.
- Credit Limit: As a non-degree student, you may complete up to 6 credits before applying to a graduate certificate or master’s program. However, you may not complete more than half of a graduate certificate while enrolled as a non-degree student. Most graduate certificates require 15 credits, but some require only 10 credits; in those cases, you may take no more than 5 credits as a non-degree student.
- Application Requirement: A new non-degree application is required for each term you enroll.
Example: If you take 3 credits in Spring and want 3 more in Summer, you must submit a new application for Summer.
Credit Transfer
- Up to 6 credits earned as a non-degree student can be transferred toward a graduate certificate or master’s degree in forensic science if you are admitted and earn a grade of “B” or higher.
