Non-degree courses are a great way to enhance your graduate training or professional experience in public health. Non-degree students register for courses but are not enrolled in an official degree or certificate program at the Colorado School of Public Health. In order to be considered for a seat in a class, all non-degree students must submit a Course Permission Form signed by the teaching faculty.
Launching in the Spring of 2026, the Colorado School of Public Health now offers a micro certificate in Public Health Sciences. In less than half the time it takes to complete a full credential, you can obtain specific, practical, job-related competencies to boost your career outlook. The micro certificate includes three online courses – epidemiology, biostatistics, and foundations in public health. You will walk away with skills in statistical analysis, epidemiological methods, and the key issues and problems faced by the public health system. Application deadlines are as follows:
| Start Term | Application Deadline |
| Spring 2026 | January 7 |
| Summer 2026 | June 1 |
| Fall 2026 | August 15 |
