- Applicants must hold a valid elementary, junior high/middle school, or secondary license.
- Applicants should expect program coursework to take two to three years to complete.
For candidates admitted after 7/15/2011, a two-year gap in coursework will require a new application for re-admission into any graduate program, and a mandatory meeting with a program advisor. The re-admitted candidate must then comply with any new program requirements, if any.
