Non-degree (non-matriculated or special students) applicants are not candidates for a degree from Pratt Institute. Non-matriculated students may take courses for graduate credit, provided the academic department approves the registration, but they may not be admitted to candidacy for a degree without first gaining admission to a graduate degree program. No more than 18 total credits may be taken by a student with non-matriculated/special student status (no more than six credits a semester). The non-degree application form is found in pdf form below. International students may not take courses as non-matriculated students. They must be full-time matriculated students to meet immigration regulations.
