Application Requirements
Along with the Online Application (link), the following are necessary requirements:
Graduates with a Bachelor's degree from an accredited college, university or seminary and a teaching certificate will be considered for admission to graduate study in the School of Education. Admission decisions are based primarily on the applicant's previous academic record as shown by official transcripts.
The admission criteria used to guide decisions include:
- A minimum overall 3.00 GPA (grade point average) OR A minimum 3.00 GPA on the most recent 48 credits OR A minimum overall 2.80 GPA with a Miller Analogies qualifying score of at least 396
- A resume that documents competence and effectiveness in professional work
- Three letters of professional reference – from either faculty members or K-12 administrators
After the application for admission and transcripts have been favorably reviewed by faculty, the Graduate Office will send the applicant official notification of admission to graduate study.
Transfer Students
Consistent with university policy, a maximum of six credit hours may be accepted in transfer from other accredited institutions. Transfer credits will be allowed only for courses which closely match existing program requirements, and courses must be taken no more than five years prior to the date they are transferred. Decisions concerning the appropriateness of transfer credit are made by the Program Director. Appeals may be made to the Committee on Student Standing in instances of dispute.
