Education Admission Requirements

A student planning to major in any education field is considered a pre-education major until they have been fully accepted to the education program. Students can apply for formal admission to the program when they have earned 60 hours with a 2.0 Cumulative GPA and a number of other requirements which can be found on the application below.

The Education Preparation Committee will determine whether an applicant will be admitted unconditionally, admitted provisionally, or not admitted based on established criteria. Information about these requirements will be distributed to students enrolled in ED 101, Foundations of Education. Students who transfer credit in a course evaluated as equivalent to Foundations of Education should consult with the Director of Teacher Education within their first semester of attendance to determine their status in the educator preparation program.

Once a student meets the Education program requirements, they may apply for full admission into the CMU Education program.

Education Admission Application

 

Educator Preparation candidates participate in selected professional education courses and student teaching experiences. Students must meet certain requirements before they will be allowed to register for ED454 and ED462. Those requirements can be found on the Student Teaching Application.
