The student must be regularly admitted at the Intermediate level in the appropriate field of specialization. Residence Requirement Students seeking a Specialist in Education degree fulfill the residence requirement by completing at least twelve hours of their degree on the home campus. Although the program may, the Graduate School does not require that these campus credits be concentrated in any minimum number of terms. A minimum of 54 hours of credit in graduate-level courses beyond the bachelor's degree is required. The 54 hours of credit normally include specified courses in the area of specialization, selected cognate courses, electives, an internship or practicum, and a research project.
More specific information is available from the program office.
