Admission Requirements
Applicants are required to have earned at least a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited U.S. college or university or a degree from a non-U.S. institution of higher education that is judged equivalent to a U.S. baccalaureate degree by the International Admissions office and have an undergraduate grade point average (GPA) of 3.00 (based on a 4-point scale) computed for all undergraduate credits from the applicant’s most recent baccalaureate degree. Academic background must also be judged by the program coordinator as adequate for enrollment in graduate courses in education and educational technology.
A prospective student may apply at any time and should follow the general graduate application procedure for degree-seeking students (see Graduate Admission Regulations). Admission to the program is based on:
- Official transcripts from all colleges attended.
- An essay describing educational and professional background, career goals, and how the coursework will help you to attain them. Also, tell us why you are choosing our program and why you will be a successful graduate student.
