General Description
Admission requirements:
Unconditional admission to the program requires the applicant to have a
bachelor’s degree from a fully accredited four-year college or
university, an undergraduate cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or better
on a 4.0 scale, and a composite score of at least 870
on the verbal, quantitative, and subject portions of the Graduate Record
Examination or a score of 25 on the Miller Analogies Test.
Conditional admission may be gained with a lower grade point average, but
the GRE or MAT score must be correspondingly higher.
If the undergraduate GPA is between 2.25 and 2.49, the GRE score must be 935
or the MAT score 32. If the GPA is between 2.0
and 2.24, the GRE score must be 1,000 or the MAT score 39. Applicants with
less than a 2.5 undergraduate GPA must submit test
scores at the time of application; applicants with a GPA of 2.5 or above may
submit test scores in the first semester of attendance,
but it is preferable that they submit test scores at the time of original
application. The student must remove conditional status by
earning at least a B (3.0) average in the first nine hours of graduate
courses; failure to achieve this average will result in dismissal
from the program.
Degree Requirements
Candidates for the M.Ed. degree must take a minimum of 33 hours of course
work and pass comprehensive examinations in the field
of general education and educational administration. Substitutions may be
made only with the recommendation of the advisor.
Program of Study (Licensure in K-12 Administration and Supervision)
Each student must be interviewed by a committee of professional
administrators prior to admission, or during the first
semester of study in this program. (Each student must inform his or her
advisor early in the program that
Principal/Supervisor licensure is being sought.)
