You cannot earn a degree from the University of Missouri entirely through self-paced study. With the approval of your adviser, you may earn university credit through self-paced study that can be applicable toward a bachelor's degree.

Graduate Credit:

Graduate-level credit refers to the number of a course. Whether a course is accepted as graduate credit depends upon the student's eligibility to receive graduate credit, and the student's eligibility is determined by the school accepting the credit. Generally, teachers can use graduate-level courses for certification and salary improvement without being admitted to a graduate school.

Transcripts do not specifically indicate graduate credit.
