Special Application Requirements/Information (Academic Catalog)

Applicants to the master's and doctoral degree in the international education programs must indicate their area of concentration and a geographical or transcultural area of specialty on their application for admission. These concentrations are not binding, and enrolled students are at liberty to change their concentration and specialty at the beginning of their studies.

Applicants to the Ed.M., Ph.D., and Ed.D. degree programs should have a Master's degree. Doctoral applicants must submit an academic writing sample and should arrange if possible for an interview prior to applying. Applicants for the Ph.D. program in Comparative and International Education are expected to have already completed some coursework in the discipline they select as their concentration.
