Admission Requirements
for Fall 2008
Application Review Process
When your application file is complete, it will be reviewed by the
faculty admissions committee in the area of study to which you have
applied. In accordance with students' active participation in School
of Education governance, duly appointed students may be involved in
reviewing applicant files. In addition to grades and test scores,
your potential is assessed by noting achievements in graduate study,
employment, and extracurricular and other voluntary activities as
described in your statement of purpose.
Some degree and credential programs require interviews of
top-ranked applicants. If an interview is required, you will be
notified. Telephone interviews may be conducted by arrangement with
program staff. Only a limited number of applicants will be invited
for an interview.
Notification of Decision. The School of Education sends notification letters to applicants as decisions are made, typically between late February and April. Recommendations for admission are forwarded to the Graduate Division for final approval. Only written notice from the Graduate Division constitutes approval of admission, not correspondence with the department or with an individual faculty member.
