Personal Enrichment Courses (Noncredit)

Personal enrichment courses allow you to explore a variety of interests, ranging from art history to music to film to philosophy. Take studio art courses in woodworking, painting, or bronze casting, and more. Choose from a limited number of credit courses that have a noncredit option at a reduced tuition rate. Anyone not enrolled in a degree program at Purchase College is eligible to register for this noncredit option—college credit and grades are not awarded. You may also take individual courses in any of our noncredit professional certificate programs without making a commitment to the entire program.
