Graduate Admission The Office of Education Services coordinates the procedures for admission to programs in the College of Education at both the Undergraduate and Graduate levels. Either the College of Liberal Arts or the Graduate College governs all programs. The application process, therefore, involves application to the College of Liberal Arts or Graduate College in addition to the College of Education. The College of Education offers the following graduate degrees: - M.A. (with or without thesis)
- M.S. (With or without thesis)
- M.A.T. (Master of Arts in Teaching) Teacher Education Program Policies apply
- Ed.S. (Educational Specialist)
- Ph.D.
All College of Education Graduate level programs are governed by the Graduate College therefore, we recommend that you become familiar with Graduate College Rules and Regulations.
We also recommend that you become familiar with the following Important Degree Requirements for each graduate degree: - Certification only non-degree status designed for licensure program completion.
- Professional Improvement - non-degree status under which a student can take a limited number of individual courses.
These statuses require regular departmental admission to the Graduate College even though neither of these are degree granting statuses. The Office of Admissions can provide information on admissions procedures. Graduate Admission materials are coordinated in the College of Education by Sue Cline (Ph.D., Ed.S., Cert., PI, and all international students) and Debbie Rogers (M.A./M.S./M.A.T). Degree offerings, majors, application requirements, and deadlines vary by program. Check the Academic Department web pages for details. Application to all graduate programs (degree or non-degree) in the
College of Education requires official GRE general test scores. All College of Education programs require that at least 2 letters of recommendation accompany the Graduate College Application. We provide a printable copy of the Graduate Application letter of recommendation form for the convenience of your writers. We will also accept a text written letter of recommendation. TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS Students who have completed a baccalaureate degree may be admitted to a teacher preparation program in one of two ways. - Apply to the College of Liberal Arts as post-baccalaureate students with senior standing.
