Single Course Options

Overview
Go To:

The single courses offered by the Extended Degree Program (ExDP) are the same elective and pathway courses offered to our degree students. These courses may be taken, with permission of the program, as single courses outside of any degree or certificate program. Credit earned may be transferrable if a student is later admitted into a Certificate or Degree Program, and should be applicable in the future for public health certification.

In addition, students in the resident UW MPH degree program may request permission to take the ExDP summer seminar courses.

To Register for a single course through ExDP:
  1. Choose an available course from Course Descriptions (eligible courses)
  2. Determine UW Graduate School Status:

    Current UW Graduate and Graduate Non-Matriculated students can simply proceed to step 3 below and request permission to register.

    Students with No Current UW Graduate Status will need to submit a UW Grad School application.

    Please read the choices below to help you choose the correct application type and program when you begin your online application.

    Both applications are simple and ask that you provide one copy of your original transcripts to the UW graduate and one copy to the Extended Degree Program.
