Applications for admission to this Master of Science in Education program in the Department of Teaching, Learning and Technology are made to the Graduate Admission Office. Admissions decisions are based on a comprehensive review of multiple criteria.? The department understands that any single criterion may not reliably predict a student's potential for success in the program. Students may consider applying even if they fail to meet one of the GPA or testing criteria but feel that other aspects of their experience might compensate. All individual cases will be reviewed by an Admissions Counselor before being referred to the graduate program for further review.
