Admission Procedures to Graduate Program

Admission to the College of Education's graduate education programs is open to candidates who give evidence of intellectual ability, appropriate academic and/or teaching experiences and personal suitability for pursuing graduate studies. All candidates must apply to the Graduate School and then meet requirements specific to the program.

A student may enter a graduate education (M.Ed., Bachelor's Plus, or Licensure/Endorsement) program at the beginning of the fall, spring or the summer term. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year. Minimal course enrollments (eight) may be required for all courses and some courses may not be available each semester.
