Noncredit courses are professional development or personal courses that will not count towards a degree but can be used to further your career and goals. Regular University courses are called credit courses, and apply toward a degree. Noncredit courses are geared specifically toward skill enhancement of the participants. As a general rule, the answer is no. You may take any course we offer.
Some courses require, however, completion of certain prerequites prior to enrollment.
Prerequisites are preliminary skills or knowledge that must be acquired before enrollment in a course. This generally refers to a particular course or courses that must be taken before another course. You can begin taking courses as a Continuing Education student at any time. The University of Delaware does not. Generally, there is no difference.
