M.S.Ed. in Business Education

Admission Requirements

Applications for admission to a Master of Science in Education program in the Department of Curriculum and Teaching are made to the Graduate Admissions Office. Admission is based on a comprehensive review of multiple criteria, including the following:

1. A completed application form to the master's program.
2. A minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.75 in each of two categories:
   1. Overall undergraduate course work,
   2. Course work in the content area in which certification will be sought,
   3. Applicants with GPAs between 2.5 and 2.75 may be accepted provisionally, subject to special conditions.
3. Completion of General Education Core prerequisites for teacher education programs.
4. A written personal statement of professional intent and rationale.
5. Two letters of reference that address the applicant's potential to succeed in the teaching profession and in graduate course work.
6. A Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) degree (See Business Content Requirements below.)

The department understands that any single criterion may not reliably predict a candidate's potential for success in a graduate program. Consequently, candidates may wish to apply if they do not meet one of the criteria but feel that other aspects of their experience may compensate.
