For those who either are not sure about the degree or are concerned about their academic and professional backgrounds, another option is to enroll first as a graduate nonmatriculated (GNM) student. GNM students are not presently seeking a degree, but may apply a maximum of 12 graduate level credits toward degree requirements should they be accepted into a graduate program. It is important to note that acceptance as a GNM student does not imply admission to a graduate degree program.
GNM application instructions are listed with the Graduate application instructions.
