Before admission to the graduate program, student transcripts will be reviewed by a faculty member in the content area of intended certification as well as by the program coordinator in the School of Education to determine the required program of study.

When individuals who have earned a bachelor’s degree in Biology, English, Mathematics, Social Studies, or related field and have passed the appropriate licensure exam, additional coursework in the content area may not be required.

Individuals must also apply and be admitted to the School of Education to be eligible for field experiences and upper-level education courses.
