Non-Degree Seeking students take classes without pursuing a degree at MSU Denver. This is different from being an Exploratory (Undeclared) student. If your class has prerequisites, contact the academic department to request a prerequisite override.
Looking for a Class that Counts?
General Studies courses help you make progress toward your degree. Students need 33 credit hours of General Studies coursework across multiple categories to graduate.
A course may fulfill both a major requirement and a General Studies requirement, but those credits count only once toward the 120 total credits required for graduation.
Explore General Studies Requirements
Check your Degree Progress Report, or connect with an Advisor, to see which General Studies categories you’ve already fulfilled and which ones you still need to complete.
