This includes online courses for both domestic and international students who are not seeking F1 visa status. Programs may restrict non-degree admission to some or all of their courses. Students who hold at least a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college or university and who wish to enroll in graduate courses for their own personal enrichment or professional advancement may do so by completing the online application.
  • Applicants for graduate-at-large status must present proof of degree at the time of application.
  • A maximum of twelve semester hours taken in graduate-at-large status at Chicago State University prior to formal admission may be applied to a master’s degree program with the approval of the department administering the program. (Certain programs may only permit fewer hours.).
