Admission requirements

1. Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university.
2. Bachelor’s grade point average (GPA) of 2.8 or higher overall, or bachelor’s GPA of 3.0 or higher on the last 60 hours, or completed master’s degree GPA of 3.4 or higher.
3. Submission of department-administered placement is required. Contact the department for more information.
4. Scores on the department-administered placement test and/or the GRE (verbal, quantitative and analytical writing) may be used in assessing a student’s application for admission to the program.

6. Resume or curriculum vitae that includes the candidate’s previous work or educational experiences.
7. A personal statement from the candidate stating his or her goals and rationale for applying to the computer education program and a brief description of his or her career and research expectations with regard to work and further education.
