You do not need to apply for certification upon completion of the program but that would probably be a mistake. D. is also certification based and leads to district level certification. If your scores are below these figures, we encourage you to re-take the exam. We only consider your best scores. Please remember that we also consider recommendations, prior academic work, and your writing sample.
Test scores are important, but represent only one piece of information.
The GRE is administered at UNO and numerous other sites across the Midwest and nation. I am not certified to teach. The programs in educational leadership are open only to individuals who hold valid teaching credentials. I just graduated from UNO's Teacher Education program. Although most students in the masters program have at least a few years of teaching experience, we welcome students directly out of UNO's teacher education program.
