To apply for a non-degree seeking program to a master's degree program, you will need to check with the specific university or graduate school you are interested in. Many schools have a separate application process for non-degree students, and you may need to submit transcripts, letters of recommendation, and a personal statement.
Some schools may allow you to transfer credits from your non-degree program to a master's degree program, but it ultimately depends on the policies of the specific institution. It is important to check with the graduate school beforehand to see if this is an option.
In most cases, non-degree seeking courses are not counted towards a master's degree. These courses are typically taken for personal or professional development, and do not count towards the credits needed for a degree. However, some schools may allow you to petition for certain courses to be counted towards your degree requirements.
The length of a non-degree to master's program can vary depending on the individual's pace and the program requirements. Typically, non-degree programs are shorter in length compared to traditional master's degree programs, but it ultimately depends on the specific program and the courses you take.
It is unlikely that you will be eligible for financial aid as a non-degree seeking student in a master's program. Non-degree students are typically not considered degree-seeking and therefore may not qualify for financial aid. However, it is best to check with the financial aid office at the specific institution for more information.
