Applicants must provide a supplemental writing sample written in Spanish to be uploaded as a Miscellaneous Admissions Document. The writing sample should describe your cross-cultural and/or cross-linguistic experiences. You also should demonstrate competency with the language and content of the essay, and show that you have made efforts to cross borders by working, traveling, or otherwise have lived in situations that required a multiplicity of cultural competencies.
Master's applicants: A bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in the U.S. or proof of equivalent training at a foreign institution.
All applicants: A minimum GPA of 3.0, particularly during the last two years of college and in any previous graduate study. The department will consider applications with lower GPAs. If you feel that your grade point averages or test scores are not valid indicators of your ability, please wait till you have submitted your application and upload a miscellaneous document explaining your concerns.
We also consider teaching experience as a criterion during the admission process. EC-12 teaching experience, especially among underserved populations, is preferred by most program areas.
Transcripts are required for each senior college attended. A PDF of the official transcript can be uploaded, but you must provide an official transcript from that college after acceptance to our program. Each transcript can be uploaded only once, so please make sure you have the correct and full version of each transcript before uploading
