Non-Degree Programs
CU Denver knows there are people who want to learn so they can enrich their lives. This is why we offer non-degree programs.
Non-Degree Admissions
Students in non-degree programs take the same classes as degree-seeking students, taught by our knowledgeable professors. Non-degree programs work for people who want to take a course for professional development, personal interest, or simple curiosity. It is also a great way for students enrolled at other institutions to earn extra credit by taking summer classes at CU Denver.
Or, non-degree programs can help you discover if CU Denver is right for you. Students who first attend non-degree programs may ultimately decide to apply for traditional degree-granting undergraduate or graduate admission.
