Graduate Admissions

Basic Procedures

Graduate advisors have been designated in each of the major program areas to assist new students and those for whom graduate committees have not been appointed. The graduate committee chair, when selected, will assist the student in developing a degree plan and, along with the committee members, will assume the responsibility for preparing the student for the comprehensive examinations.
To receive full admission to a degree program offered in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, an applicant must meet all standards established by the College of Graduate Studies and all departmental program requirements and be recommended by the graduate advisor or the program admissions committee.
Students who meet the general requirements for conditional admission and are recommended by the Department will be permitted to pursue one of the major areas in the department. Typically, the student admitted on a conditional basis will be required to complete 12 semester hours including EDU 598 with a 3.25 GPA.

To remain in good standing, students who have full admission status are expected to maintain a 3.0 GPA. Students whose GPA does not meet the minimum may not enroll for additional work without special permission from the department head.

Consideration for accepting transfer credits will be given only after a student has full admission to graduate study. Credits transferred from an approved institution must meet the guidelines outlined in Limitations on Transfer and Correspondence Courses in General Requirements for the Master's Degree.
