General Admission Information:
Apply online to the Graduate School. Complete information is available at the Graduate School admission web site.
- To be admitted you must have a minimum cumulative undergraduate grade
point average (GPA) of 2.75 on a 4.0 scale from an accredited college or university and a minimum 2.5 GPA in your undergraduate content area. - The Graduate Record Exam (GRE) is required for all Master of Arts in Teaching applicants. Master of Education applicants are exempt from taking a test.
- Complete departmental admission requirements. This can be done at the same time you apply to the Graduate School.
- Obtain two recommendations. One of your references should be from someone who has observed you working with children (principal, youth camp director, etc.). Ask your references to use this form.
- Essay Statement – After reviewing pertinent program literature, write a 500-700 word essay that clearly describes your goals as a teacher (or goals for becoming a teacher) and how the EDT graduate program will help you achieve those goals. This essay will fulfill three purposes: (1) it will help us understand who you are and why you wish to pursue graduate work, (2) it will help us determine your ability to effectively communicate in writing, and (3) during the master’s defense presentation that culminates your program, it will provide a pre/post indicator of your achievements. Submit to: EDTGraduateprogram@muohio.edu
- If you are applying to the Master of Arts in Teaching program, you must also apply and be accepted into a cohort group for your methods classes. Contact Phyllis Mendenhall, coordinator of advising, at mendenpn@muohio.edu for information.
