Complete the enclosed application form and return it to the Graduate Studies Coordinator. The Teacher Education Program has a rolling admissions policy, and you may begin classes the semester following admission. Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution.
Submit the following:
- Standardized Testing Information: A passing score on each section of the General Knowledge (GK) test or all sections of the College-Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST) (only if taken before July 2002) is required. For degree students an acceptable score of 900 (verbal and quantitative portions only) on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) also is required. NOTE: A combined GRE score (verbal and quantitative portions only) of 1000 is sufficient to initially waive the GK test score requirement for program admission, although it is still a requirement prior to student teaching.
- A completed application form with a three-to-five page statement of your goals and reasons for wanting to become a teacher.
- Official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended. An undergraduate grade-point-average of 3.0 (B) is required for admission to graduate programs. For certification only, a 2.5 grade-point-average is required.
- Three letters of recommendation, including one from an employer or educator.
- The nonrefundable application fee.
