ASHLAND

International Students

Ashland University makes a special commitment to serving the needs of international students. The International Student Services Office has been established to provide personal and academic counseling and to assist in immigration concerns. Also, the Ashland University Center for English Studies (ACCESS) provides an intensive English program for foreign students. With its low student-teacher ratio, the Graduate Studies in Education Program can ensure personal attention to the individual needs of all students.

The Master of Education degree is a professional degree building on the educational and experience backgrounds of teachers and administrators. It is essential that all candidates for a degree meet the academic requirements for admission to the M.Ed. program and have at least a two-year educational work experience as a teacher, administrator or school employee providing direct services to students. Such a work experience requirement ensures that all candidates for a degree have a common understanding of the needs of students and educational institutions. The two-year educational work experience requirement will be enforced for admission to the M.Ed. program.

International students must apply for admission to the Master of Education Program well in advance of their proposed entry date. Click here for the on-line application form.
