Admission Requirements
Applicants must have an undergraduate degree from
an accredited four year institution. The
Department of Teaching and Learning and the
Graduate School require a 3.0 or higher
cumulative grade point average on a 4.0 scale.
Calculation of the grade point average is based
on the most recent 60 semester hours of graded
course work. A letter of intent, three letters of
recommendation, and writing samples are
also required. Acceptance into the doctoral
program partially depends on the availability of
a faculty member with expertise in the area of
the student’s primary research interest.
Program Description
The M.A. degree requires a thesis, while the
Ed.M. degree requires a special project, both of
which are research focused. The M.A. is designed
for students who will potentially enter a
doctoral program or who desire to focus on
educational research, as opposed to application
of educational strategies. The Ed.M. allows
students to study a variety of education-related
areas within structured coursework. Although
students enroll in research courses and engage in
research endeavors, the emphasis in this degree
option is on application of educational research
strategies in schools settings. The Doctor of
Education (Ed.D.) prepares graduates for
positions in teacher education, research,
curriculum development, instructional
supervision, and other educational leadership
positions. The program of study has its
foundations in theoretical knowledge and
professional application of such knowledge.
Students will obtain a broad view of educational
work and an understanding of their role in that
work. Intellectual depth is obtained by studying
two areas: curriculum and instruction, and
special education.
