Graduate and professional programs admissions

Preparing leaders

We're helping students at all career stages make their mark on the world.

M.Ed./Initial Licensure

Prepare to teach in K-12 school settings. Our licensure programs are approved by the Minnesota Board of Teaching and accredited by the National Council Accreditation of Teacher Education.

M.Ed./Professional Studies

These programs are designed to advance the careers of practicing professionals, including licensed teachers, in a broad array of education and human development fields. The M.Ed. emphasizes application rather than research.

Certificates/Non-degree

Educators or other professionals with bachelor's degrees who wish to take courses and persons who need to complete prerequisites for degree program admissions can apply for non-degree seeking student status.

Additional Licensure

Provides licensed teachers with the opportunity to add to their current license.

M.A., M.S.W., Ph.D., Ed.D.

Offered through the Graduate School, these programs emphasize research and theory, culminating in a written thesis or extensive research project.
