Enrollment Criteria for Non-Degree Students

Physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, nurses, and other health care professionals holding a bachelor's degree may enroll as non-degree students in selected courses on a space-available basis. Institute payment plans are not available to non-degree students.

The number of non-degree course credits that may be applied toward a degree (MS and DPT) or certificate (CAS) is set by each program (see below). No credit will be granted for courses in which a grade of less than B was awarded. Non-degree students applying to one of the Institute's post-professional degree programs may request a waiver of GRE score submission if they have successfully completed two courses in the program to which they are applying to with a grade of B or better.

Program-specific credit maximums are:

Communication Sciences and Disorders:
MS - 12 credits
CAS - 6 credits

Medical Imaging
Post-Baccalaureate Certificate - 6 credits

Nursing: 
BSN - None.  BSN courses are not offered to non-degree students.
MS and CAS - 6 credits
DNP - 9 credits

Physical Therapy: 
Entry-Level DPT - None. DPT courses are not offered to non-degree students

tDPT - None.  However, non-degree students may take courses in the critical inquiry sequence of the tDPT and then apply them within a portfolio. (This is not the same as applying those courses to the degree.)

Advanced MS - 6 credits               CAS - 6 credits

Teaching and Learning Certificate for Health Care Educators:
