Part-time Studies

Program Overview

The University of Rochester part-time studies program provides adults from the greater Rochester area the opportunity to take classes on a part-time basis for intellectual enrichment or professional development.

Part-time non-matriculated (non-degree) students have an opportunity to try out various programs of study or just enjoy a class for personal enrichment. Subsequent matriculation as a regular student, if desired, requires application for transfer admission. Applicants should know that no more than six courses taken when non-matriculated may be transferred to a degree program.

  • The program offers you the chance to:
  • Earn college credit
  • Take a class that will help you in your current or future career
  • Try something new
