Under certain conditions, we may offer enrollment in Construction Management graduate courses to Graduate Non-Matriculated students (GNM). The purpose of GNM enrollment is to allow qualified students to earn limited graduate credit in a particular area of interest. Applicants who meet graduate admissions standards may be enrolled as GNM students and may apply up to a maximum of 12 credits earned toward graduate degree requirements, if later accepted into the Master in Science and Construction Management (MSCM).
It is important to note that acceptance as a GNM student does not guarantee admission to a graduate degree program.
For more information about GNM status at the University of Washington, please review the Graduate School’s Graduate Non-Matriculated Students policy and contact the Graduate Program Advisor before applying.
