The Elon M.Ed. Summer Cohort program enrolls in June.
Applications are evaluated on a rolling basis throughout the
year. Please submit all required application materials as
early as possible prior to enrollment.
The M.Ed. admissions policy is designed to select
outstanding students who have demonstrated both academic
competence and teaching ability. Each application is
considered in light of all completed academic work,
undergraduate grade point average, appropriate test scores
from either the Graduate Record Examinations or the Miller
Analogies Test, letters of recommendation, and a statement of
educational and professional goals.
Completed applications should be sent directly to the Office of Graduate
Admissions and must include:

Evidence of an earned bachelor's degree from an
accredited college or university

Minimum GPA of 2.5 for undergraduate work or GPA of 3.0 for
the last 60 hours or for all the major courses

Official transcripts of all undergraduate and any graduate
studies completed or taken

Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) taken within the last
five years
-
A minimum one year of teaching experience (two years
preferred)
-
Recognized teaching license or commitment to achieving

score of 550 (paper-based tests) or 213 (computer-based
examinations) is required. English translations of
transcripts and explanations of grading systems are
required.
Exceptions to these requirements may be considered under
special circumstances.
