Application to
a University
Admission application
deadlines vary; students
must meet the deadline
for the university
to which they plan
to transfer. Upon
successful completion
of the associate in
arts degree, students
who meet the requirements
outlined in this pre-major
transfer agreement
for Middle Grades
Education and Special
Education will
be eligible to be
considered for admission
as juniors to the
universities offering
the baccalaureate
degree.
Admission
to the Major
GPA requirements
vary, and admission
is competitive across
the several programs
in Middle Grades
Education and Special
Education. Admission
to teacher licensure
programs requires
satisfactory scores
on PRAXIS I. Receiving
institutions may have
additional requirements,
prerequisites, or
proficiencies. Since
these vary at receiving
institutions, students
should review the
admission requirements
for the institutions
they plan to attend. |
