School of Education, Health and Human Performance Admission Requirements

Applicants for graduate programs in the School of Education Health and Human Performance must meet the specific degree program criteria in addition to University admission policy criteria.

Note: Certified teachers who have a passing PLT score may be exempted from GRE/Millers requirements. Applicants already holding a master’s degree are also exempted.

Provisional Admission

Applicants who are admitted on a provisional basis due to the absence of a test score or who provide a provisional test score at the point of application will matriculate with a restricted set of course options in the first 9 hours of study. Different M.Ed. concentrations and the M.A.T. may have different requirements for the first 9 credit hours depending on the program of study.

Continuation in a program of study for provisionally admitted students will be determined based on performance in the first 9 credit hours.

Provisionally admitted students must hold a minimum grade point average of 3.0 with no grade lower than “B” in any graduate course. Provisionally admitted students may not have a grade of “I” or “W” in the first 9 credit hours. Provisionally admitted students must provide the required test score before the completion of the first term of matriculation (summer, spring or fall) after provisional admission is approved.

Certification Program Admission Requirements

Applicants for any certification program (M.Ed. or M.A.T.) must have a GPA of 2.75 or higher. This includes all transcripts from all previous degrees and matriculation. The provision for calculating the last 60 credit hours noted in General University Graduate Studies Admissions Requirements above do not apply to certification programs.

All applicants admitted to a graduate program leading to certification are required to complete all field and clinical components in a West Virginia public school.
