Graduate Non-matriculated Students

Graduate non-matriculated (GNM) is a student status at the University of Washington designed to provide access to graduate courses for qualified post-baccalaureate individuals. The UW Business School evaluates the applicants, and determines whether each applicant is qualified to do graduate-level work in the courses to which they seek entry. The application process for GNM applicants is coordinated between two offices: the Graduate Admissions Office and the UW MBA Program Office. You may be contacted by either of these offices throughout the application process with requests for additional material.

Additional information on GNM status, including tuition and fees, can be found on the UW Extension Web site.

Note: The UW Business School has additional requirements not reflected on the UW Extension Web site.

Applying as a Graduate Non-Matriculated student

GNM applicants must follow the instructions for non-degree applicants in Apply and Interview as well as meet one of the following criteria:

• Have completed an MBA degree at an accredited university and desire to take classes to supplement their education in specific subject area, or
• Be enrolled in an accredited MBA Program at another university, and desire to take a few classes to transfer to an MBA degree at another institution

Note: International applicants cannot secure a student visa under GNM status.
