Admission Admission to the graduate program in early childhood education is granted by the department's graduate program director in conjunction with early childhood education faculty. Applicants should also have experience teaching or working with young children. Students seeking certification are also required to take an additional 9 hours of credit. Applicants whose undergraduate grade point average or GRE scores fall slightly below the minimum requirement may be considered for provisional admission. Applicants who hold undergraduate degrees in other disciplines may be required to enroll in prerequisite course work.
Financial aid is awarded only to regularly admitted graduate students.
This exam is given each year in October, December, and April. Computer-based testing is available at additional times during the year. Please contact the ETS for more information. Make an appointment with an Early Childhood Education Graduate Program advisor as early as possible. Provisional admittance may be offered to students with marginal GRE scores or grades.
