Admission Classifications

IUP’s two graduate admission classifications are “Degree-seeking Admission” and “Non-degree Seeking Admission.” Those admitted to IUP Master’s and Doctoral programs are considered degree-seeking.

Non-degree seeking admission subcategories include Certificate, Certification Only, Special Status, and One Course Only. Applicants who are admitted as Non-degree Seeking Admission students can apply for Degree-seeking Admission for future terms.
