Admission to this Master of Science in Education program in the Department of Teaching, Learning and Technology is 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.

All individual cases will be reviewed by an Admissions Counselor before being referred to the graduate program for further review.
