Students not interested in pursuing a master’s degree but interested in taking graduate courses can enroll in special education courses.  An individual must be admitted as a non-matriculated student prior to registering for a course.  Non-degree students may take an unlimited number of credits, but only 12 of these (approved by advisor) can be transferred toward the master’s degree.
