NON-DEGREE ADMISSION
Non-Degree Student Guidelines
Applicants who have earned a bachelor's degree and are not enrolled in a degree program may enroll in the subset of psychology graduate courses listed below at the option of the psychology doctoral program and if there is space in the class.
For complete guidelines and requirements, review the College of Arts and Sciences, Graduate Admissions, and Non-Degree Admission pages. The non-degree application is NOT an application for our doctoral program in psychology.
Students interested in taking undergraduate, but not graduate, courses should apply through the Georgia State Admissions Office for post-baccalaureate status.

Psychology Department Non-Degree Status Policy
Students may take no more than 6 semester hours of graduate-level coursework in the non-degree status without petitioning the department for an exception.
Students enrolled with the non-degree status in a psychology graduate course may not at the same time be applicants to a graduate degree program in the department. They also may not apply for admission to a graduate degree program in the department for one year following the semester in which the last graduate course was taken.
