Non-Degree Options
If you do not wish to complete an entire degree program, you may take up to two classes prior to admission into a degree program. You might choose to take a course or two for professional or personal development, or to update your knowledge of a particular subject. Applying for the Non-Degree admission process is the same as traditional master's degree admission process. After completion of two courses, a student can choose to convert to a full degree seeking master's degree student. Students who wish to take more than two classes are encouraged to consider enrolling in a degree program. Only two classes taken as a non-degree student can be applied towards a CDM master's degree.
