Graduate Credit. NDMU PDI classes are offered as professional development opportunities for Prek-12 teachers and administrators, for graduate credit, and for MSDE certification or certification renewal. PDI courses do not automatically count toward a student's degree program or toward financial aid eligibility. If a student is interested in applying credit toward an NDMU Master's degree or Certificate program, NDMU will accept up to 12 credits total in transfer, but the student must initiate a transfer request through the Registrar.
Matriculation. Students who take more than 12.0 graduate credits at NDMU must matriculate to take additional graduate courses. That means that you must enroll in a program of study. Continuing ed students must still submit a graduate application and unofficial transcript but once done, they will in the system for future classes.
Matriculation is free. Programs of study are described on the NDMU School of Education website. Please email [email protected] to arrange to speak with a graduate program advisor.
