Program Admission Requirements
Students with a minimum undergraduate grade point average of 2.75 (4.00 scale) and a minimum score of 146 on the verbal section of the GRE General Test will be accepted. The official score must be filed with the Graduate Office prior to admission but not later than the end of the first semester of enrollment. If the score is not submitted by the end of the first semester, the student cannot re-enroll until the score is submitted. Students who do not meet the cutoff score of 146 may be accepted on the condition that they maintain a grade point average of at least 3.00 for the first 15 credit hours at the graduate level.
To maintain enrollment in the program, students must attain a 3.00 GPA with no grade lower than a “C” acceptable for degree requirements.
Deficiencies in undergraduate preparation will be assessed by the instructor, advisor, and graduate faculty, and remedial procedures will be prescribed. This could mean additional coursework or special examination. In general, all but 600-level courses are open to any major, but individual instructors retain the prerogative of admission of individual students into their course where eligibility appears questionable.
Comprehensive Examination
The content of the comprehensive examination will be equally divided between those courses required in education and the history area. The School of Education and the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences are responsible for the scheduling, construction, and evaluation of their respective portions of the comprehensive examination. The degree candidate must pass both portions of the examination.
