Continuing and Professional Studies Program (CAPS)

The College of Arts and Sciences offers an opportunity for students intending to pursue a graduate degree to take a maximum of two graduate courses before applying for degree candidacy. Courses must be selected with the instructor's written consent and will be offered on a space available basis. Please visit the web site of your program of interest for contact information. A CAPS student must submit an official transcript verifying proof of a bachelor’s degree with the CAPS registration form to the Office of Graduate Admission. The office will then return the form to the student with the student’s identification number. This ID number will allow a student to register for a maximum of two classes. These two classes are assessed graduate tuition and graduate credit. If successfully completed, these two classes may count toward a graduate degree if the student subsequently applies to the program in which he/she took the CAPS courses.
