In determining if the Division of Unclassified Studies can help you
meet your educational goals, it is important to note:
- Although
there are no specific GPA or test score requirements for admission
to DUS, an applicant must have a strong academic background that
clearly demonstrates he or she is capable of succeeding in the
Vanderbilt classroom, and meet any other criteria of the category
for which they are applying.
- Admission
to the Division of Unclassified Studies does not guarantee admission
to any Vanderbilt degree program, nor does it in any way influence
such an admission decision.
-
Credits earned through DUS can not generally be used toward a
graduate degree at Vanderbilt University.
-
If
a DUS student is later admitted into one of the degree granting
units of the University, credits earned while in DUS can be applied
to the degree as long as:
1)
the credits are applicable to the degree; 2) the credit
was not used to meet high school graduation requirements; and 3)
the credit represents no more than 25% of the hours required
for the degree.
-
Students
in the Division of Unclassified Studies are not eligible to audit
courses.
- Degree-seeking
candidates at Vanderbilt have priority in course enrollments.
