Admission Requirements
for Fall 2012
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 recommendations for admission to the Graduate Division typically between February and April for final approval. Only notice from the Graduate Division constitutes approval of admission, not correspondence with the department or with an individual faculty member.
