ENE Non-Degree Option
A non-degree approach provides flexible, practical pathways for individuals who want to build skills without committing to an academic degree or a certification. This option is especially beneficial for career changers, working professionals, or students seeking to enhance their resumes with targeted expertise. It also provides an on-ramp for anyone wishing to initiate studies on a trial basis in one of our degree programs.
You'll find that the ENE courses listed below are designed to build in-demand skills that support immediate career advancement and continuous learning opportunities. Plus, they meet our Graduate Certificate for Teaching and Learning in Engineering and Master of Science in Engineering Education plan of study requirements.
The Purdue College of Engineering Apply for Non-Degree: Course Only page provides guidance on admission criteria, processes, and deadlines for non-degree-seeking, prospective students.
