Some professionals wish to take a single course to improve specific areas of their work or to test-drive a Rensselaer at Work program.
We recommend that you consider topics that directly apply to your work and projects that can make a difference in your approach. To discuss which courses might serve you best, schedule a Professional Consultation.
Completing an Application for a Single Course:
- Upload a copy of your bachelor’s (or highest degree) transcripts to the application form or email them to gradadmissions@rpi.edu
- Complete the Single Course Registration form.
- Identify the nature of your interest – future matriculation, taking a single course, or trialing a course.
- Upon application approval, you will receive an email confirming your course registration.
- Your Faculty Advisor will then contact you with details you will need leading up to the start of class.
Graduate Non-Matriculated Study Requirements:
- The minimum requirement for admission to a graduate course is the completion of a four-year U.S. bachelor’s degree or equivalent.
- Admission to a course as a non-matriculated (non-degree seeking) student is based on the applicant’s related academic and professional qualifications as well as space availability for the specific course(s) requested.
- Up to 12 credit hours of non-degree study can be applied to a graduate degree program, or 6 credit hours toward a graduate certificate.
Benefits of Non-Matriculated Study:
- Take just one course and experience a difference in your work in just four months.
- Test-drive one Rensselaer at Work course to see how it fits your goals and your busy life.
- Network with other like-minded professionals throughout the U.S. who are leading change and making a difference.
- Completed non-matriculated coursework with a grade of B or better can be used towards an applicable graduate degree or certificate.
- Most employer benefits cover payment of non-matriculated coursework.
