Nondegree-Seeking (NDS) Single Courses
In addition to its degree programs, Purdue Global Law School offers nondegree-seeking students and alumni the ability to take single courses (or groups of courses) that could help them build their knowledge and skills in specific areas. You can select one or more courses that provide industry-specific expertise to help you resolve disputes; become an advocate for patients, families, or other stakeholders; negotiate, draft, or review contracts; shape corporate or institutional policy; build knowledge to communicate better with attorneys; or otherwise advance within your organization.
If you do not already possess a JD from either Purdue Global Law School or another law school, you must receive the Dean’s approval prior to enrolling in any NDS course. Your Admissions Advisor will assist in this process.
Upon successful completion of an NDS course, you may transfer the credits earned toward the EJD program.
