Training educators and counselors for today and tomorrow

Admissions Interview

In addition to the standard graduate studies admissions requirements , the Counselor Education faculty also requires a personal interview for all students seeking the M.Ed. degree. This interview provides candidates with an opportunity to discuss educational and career goals.

When a candidate's application is complete (transcripts, recommendations (PDF), and test scores have been received), he or she will be notified by the Office Graduate Studies. The candidate will be given instructions on whom to contact for the interview. Students will provide a writing sample of less than one page during the interview on a preset topic, which is given at the time the interview is arranged.

In addition, individuals interested in taking counseling courses (i.e., courses with the prefix of COUN) as non-degree students maybe admitted initially with this status to take up to 6 hours of graduate credit and  then subsequently pursue admission as a degree-seeking graduate student in the M.Ed. program.
