Graduate Admissions - C&I, FLE, STEM

[There are no undergraduate degrees available through the Department of Curriculum and Instruction or its affiliated programs.

Teacher Certification is a separate program from the graduate level programs.]

The Department of Curriculum and Instruction and the affiliated programs of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Education and Foreign Language Education offer graduate degrees, including the MA, MEd, and PhD.  Each program has distinct admissions criteria, however, all three share the following requirements.
