Non-Degree Seeking

The Department of Exploratory Studies is the place for you if you are not seeking a degree, however you want to:

• Gain new skills or enhance an existing one 
• Stay current on topics of interest such as business, leadership or marketing theory and practices 
• Expand your career development 
• Explore new subject matter for personal growth

Not all students who attend college are on the path toward a four-year degree. Many community members and employees take courses at The University of Toledo to fulfill personal and professional goals.   

Courses or certificate programs can be taken online, in a classroom or a combination.

You can take up to 24 semester hours of undergraduate college credit or 9 credit hours for graduate level courses as a non-degree seeking student.
