Individuals seeking admission to graduate programs in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction must first meet the general admission requirements of the School of Graduate Studies. In addition, the following specific admission criteria apply:
1. A candidate who has an
undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or above on a
4.0 scale for all work
completed is eligible for admission.
2. A candidate who has an
undergraduate GPA of less than 3.0 on a
4.0 scale may be granted
admission by either of the following two (2)
procedures:
1.
Obtaining a minimum of 2400 points based on the following
formula:
■ *the sum of the GRE aptitude scores (V+Q+AW);
■ GPA x 500; and
■ the sum of number (1) and (2). *Scores on the GRE-AW will
be substituted for the Analytical (A) scores using a scaled
transfer.
2.
Participate in an interview with the appropriate admission
committee. The candidate will be responsible for providing the
admission committee with information for consideration in
admission decisions. Factors to be considered include
teaching
experience; scores on standardized tests; GPA during the entire
undergraduate experience, during the last two years of
undergraduate school, and in the major; performance in graduate
courses taken; recommendations of supervisors and colleagues;
quality of undergraduate school(s) attended; oral communication
skills; and skill in writing, which will be determined in part by
the
candidate’s extemporaneous writing during the interview
process.
