Teacher Education: Admission

In order to gain admission to the teacher education cohort, you will need to submit your transcript with an Intent to Apply form. Your GPA must be 2.5 or higher in courses that are intended to fulfill your General Education requirements for a degree in Teacher Education. Next, you will be asked to write a biographical essay and to complete a self-report inventory. Provided that you demonstrate an acceptable level of proficiency in your writing, you will be granted an interview, which is the final step in determining whether or not you will gain admission into the cohort.

You will also be tested on your level of computer literacy because these skills are critical for the completion of your coursework and the eventual creation of your electronic portfolio. Minimally, your computer literacy skills should include the ability to do word processing on Microsoft Word, ability to access WebCT, ability to access the internet, ability to send attached email documents of your assignments, and basic skills in doing Power Point presentations. If you do not have these basic computer literacy skills, you will be required to take a computer literacy course your first semester or the summer prior to your entry into the Cohort, depending on time constraints.
