Level up your skills with standalone course opportunities and gain the knowledge and expertise that is applicable to you. You may choose from any of the classes offered by the Applied Computer Science Post-Baccalaureate program provided that you are able to meet course prerequisites. This is a non-degree option, which means you can enroll in computer science courses for credit without being a degree-seeking student.

This option is beneficial if you:

  • are seeking professional development,
  • need to complete prerequisite courses for a graduate program,
  • want to explore or need more time before committing to the full degree program,
  • missed our application deadline.

If you choose to enroll in the degree program at a later date, the standalone courses may transfer and be applied to your degree. Learn more about transferring credits.
