1. Completed graduate application.
2. Official transcripts for all undergraduate and graduate academic credits received from each United States regionally accredited or equivalent post-secondary institution attended should be sent directly to the Admissions Office.
3. Evidence of a baccalaureate or more advanced degree with a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.75 on a 4.0 scale for regular admissions status. The cumulative grade point average is computed on the highest degree held at the time of application to the Edgewood College graduate program.
4. Two letters of recommendation from college or university professors, supervisors, and/or professional colleagues addressing the applicant’s potential for success in graduate school.
5. A written personal statement explaining what the applicant hopes to gain from participation in the program, what the applicant brings to the program, and how specific background experiences will aid in the success of the applicant as a student.
6. Demonstrated content proficiency through completion of an undergraduate major or major equivalent coursework in the academic disciplines of the licensure(s) being sought (within the fields of science, social studies, English, and/or mathematics).
7. All Division of Education students seeking clinical placements and/or WDPI licensure must comply with the State of Wisconsin requirement for a Criminal Background Check. This background check is required prior to official admission to licensure programs. Edgewood College uses https://www.viewpointscreening.com/edgewood for all Education background checks. Completion of this required background check is mandatory before any field placement in a school, an integral part of the field work associated with courses throughout each program.
To complete the Accelerated Teacher Education Partnership online program, students must complete 24 credit hours of coursework and fulfill their clinical teaching experiences.
The initial licensure sequence includes 24 credits of coursework, supervised clinical field experiences, and supervised student teaching. These credits can then be applied toward a 30-credit Master of Arts in Education degree.
