The Department Chair appoints these individuals and the Chair of the Committee. Students seeking admission to the Graduate School and Department of Special Education must prepare and submit a full admissions file for consideration by the Admissions Committee.
Actions require a majority vote of the committee members present.
A multi-factored approach is used in evaluating each applicant's file. The Committee uses professional judgment in assessing the applicant's potential for success as a professional educator. Department faculty will receive a list of applicants prior to each Admissions meeting and will have an opportunity to provide written information to the Committee. Performance in Special Education classes taken prior to admission will be considered by the committee. Faculty advisors are assigned to all admitted students until such time as the students choose their supervisory committees.
