Graduate Non-Degree program

OSU Graduate Non-Degree program
The Graduate Non-Degree (GND) program permits the student to "test drive" graduate level courses without the requirement of being admitted to a degree-granting program. Potential applicants who have a verifiable baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution and who do not intend to pursue a graduate degree at Ohio State may register for courses under the graduate non-degree designation.
