Ed.S./M.S. Admissions

Timeline

Specialist and master's students typically are admitted for Fall semesters but, under special circumstances, applicants also will be considered for other semesters. All candidates are considered for admission as soon as their folders are complete and they are usually notified within two weeks following the Admissions Committee's decisions.

Prerequisites

Bachelor's degree in Education, Psychology, Sociology, Social Work, Home and Family Life, or related discipline from an accredited college or university. Students seeking only the specialist degree must have earned a master's degree in counseling to be eligible to apply for admission.

Applicants also will be required to have one three-credit course in sociological foundations of education. Admitted students who do not have these prerequisites will be expected to make up these deficiencies early in their programs.
Satisfactory prior academic record, as reflected by official transcripts of all previous college work. Candidates will be considered if they meet the minimum requirements established by the Board of Regents for graduate admissions.
