Why Choose Non-Degree Seeking?

• Interested in taking classes for personal growth and development.
• Want short-term training opportunities. For example, we offer a 7 credit, 16-week long Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) course.
• Many students will take classes as non-degree seeking at Great Falls College MSU while attending another college or university, to fulfill graduation requirements at their home institution.

Important things to be aware of:

• Non-degree seeking students are not eligible for financial aid.
• Check the course description to see if the class you want to take has prerequisites. We may need an appropriate placement score, a challenging exam, or, at minimum, college transcripts demonstrating successful completion of prerequisite courses.
• If taking 6 credits or less, we only need the application for admission.
• If taking more than 6 credits, we will also need immunization records showing proof of 2 MMR immunizations.
• Non-degree students who later wish to change to a degree program must furnish required supporting documentation and meet all regular admission requirements.
