Graduate Non-Degree

Stritch welcomes students who wish to take graduate courses but don't want to enroll in a master's program.


A Special Student application form is required. Special Students are not required to submit official transcripts from other college/universities, and they are not assigned advisors. When a Special Student seeks admission to a degree program, the University may accept up to 12 graduate credit hours taken as a Special Student at Stritch. However, the seven-year time limit will apply retroactively from the date of graduation from the selected program.

Students in the College of Business and Management may take up to 9 credits as a Special Student.
