Taking Credit Courses

If you are an adult learner interested in returning to education to finish a degree that you started years ago, or if you need a degree to enter a new career, the opportunities listed here may be for you.



Prospective students are not required to take admissions examinations of any type, nor are they required to be high school graduates in order to register for courses through Lifelong Learning. However, admission to coursework at the University does not mean admission to a degree program.

Those wishing to matriculate (be admitted to a regular degree program at the University) are now required either: to possess a high school diploma (or GED), or to have completed a total of 60 credit hours approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education before making application to the University’s Office of Admissions. Grade reports are available online or by written request to the Registrar’s Office.
