However, we encourage you to submit your completed application to the Admissions Office before you complete your second non-degree course. A maximum of 12 credit hours taken in non-degree status at GW or another accredited university may be credited towards the master's degree program once admitted. The Graduate School of Education and Human Development considers applications three times a year. Students may apply to begin their graduate study in the spring, summer or fall semester. Students are encouraged to review the Graduate Admissions Application booklet for applicable start dates for your program of interest.
Most programs also require an interview with the program faculty.
All doctoral applicants are required to take a standardized test unless you already hold an earned doctoral degree from an accredited institution. Applicants should contact one of our Admissions Processors, Gabrielle Julien or Emmanuella Duplessey with questions regarding the status of their application. As soon as applications are complete, they are evaluated by the program faculty. Faculty review each application carefully and consider all documents submitted before making a final decision. Applicants who do not meet our minimum admission standards may be offered provisional admission based on the recommendation of the program faculty.
