Whitworth University offers a non-credit option for the student who already has a university degree but wants to continue his or her educational experience in the United States. Such students may need enhanced language preparation for future graduate-school admission or may simply wish to have the experience of studying on an American college campus. The post-baccalaureate student pursues courses of special personal interest in a non-degree status. Students are required to register for a minimum of 12 semester credits each term. Attendance, participation and diligence are the criteria used to measure success. Participation in this program is usually limited to one full academic year.
