Graduate Courses in Arts and Sciences

Qualified women and men who have earned a baccalaureate degree in an appropriate field may take courses in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences without undertaking a degree program, space and resources permitting. The GSAS offers courses in

• Chemistry
• Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology
• Clinical Developmental Psychology
• French
• Greek, Latin and Classical Studies
• History of Art
• Mathematics
• Physics
• Russian

Continuing-education students may take a maximum of one graduate course per semester and have the choice of auditing courses or taking them for transferrable academic credit.

Most graduate courses have prerequisites, and continuing-education students will need permission from the instructor to enroll.

Students cannot earn a degree from the College through the Continuing Education Program. If a continuing-education student wishes to matriculate as a graduate student, s/he must apply to the GSAS. Courses taken by continuing-education students at the graduate level are not automatically accepted for credit towards the M.A. or Ph.D. if the student later matriculates in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. With the approval of their graduate advisors, matriculated students may request that a maximum of two units taken as continuing-education courses be accepted as transfer credit by the GSAS. All such requests are reviewed by the Graduate Council for approval. Documentation by the instructor that the student's work met the criteria for graduate credit may be required.

Refund Policy

The College has a fair and equitable refund policy based on Federal regulations. Under the policy the refund will be a percentage of tuition, fees, room and board based on the period of attendance and the receipt of Title IV funds. The actual calculation of the refund will be made in the Comptroller's Office based upon the date of withdrawal. For specific dates and amounts of refund and/or a copy of the policy, please see the administrative staff of your program or the Comptroller's Office.

There is a full tuition refund if you withdraw on or before the first day of class.

Deposits

A deposit of $100 is due at the time a student accepts a place in a course. At the end of the semester, if the student is not continuing, the deposit, less outstanding charges (parking fines, breakage fees, etc.), is refunded. This deposit is non-refundable if the student does not attend or withdraws.
