Non-Degree Nursing Courses

For nurses looking to improve their skills, the Duke University School of Nursing's non-degree nursing course option provides an alternative to a full program.

An individual may take seven graduate credits as a non-degree student, provided he or she has a bachelor's degree.

All non-degree application requirements must be received by the deadline for the semester during which the course will be offered. Requests for non-degree status will be considered within two weeks after the appropriate deadline.

Non-degree students are admitted to individual classes by permission of the instructor on a space available basis. The non-degree seeking student is eligible to attend orientation and Cyber Camp and will be responsible for all information included in these activities.
