Graduate Non-Degree

Potential applicants who have a verifiable baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution and who do not intend to pursue a graduate degree at Ohio State may register for courses under the graduate non-degree designation.

Students may take graduate courses open to graduate non-degree students. Such students, however, are not registered in a specific graduate degree program. For more information, including the application, please visit the Graduate and Professional Admissions website.

Note: If a graduate non-degree student is later admitted to a graduate degree program at Ohio State, no more than 10 hours of graduate credit accumulated while in the non-degree classification may be counted toward the graduate degree (Graduate School Handbook.)
