Admissions Policies

Admission Criteria

The Master of Education program is designed for educators who have demonstrated themselves to be competent students and professionals; as indicated by the criteria for admission below. 

Admission Criteria for all programs:

• Recommendations from a colleague, supervisor, or former professor (2)
• Undergraduate GPA of 3.0

The Master of Education program does not prepare students for an initial teaching license. Therefore, non-licensed participants may not be qualified at the completion of the program to seek teacher licensing. Those who do have teaching licenses will be able to add certification to their licenses after the successful completion of the Master of Education and the passing of state licensure exams. Candidates who are licensed in the state of Indiana and successfully complete the Early Childhood or Exceptional Needs: Intense Intervention certificates will also be eligible to add the Early Literacy Endorsement to their license. 

Transfer Students

Graduate credits earned at other regionally accredited institutions may be transferrable to Huntington University's graduate programs. Only graduate courses with a grade of B- (2.67) or above are transferable. Generally such credits must be no older than 10 years and must represent courses that can reasonably substitute for courses in the Huntington University graduate program. Individual program directors determine the suitability of such courses for transfer credit and may deny transfer credit. Students will be asked to provide relevant materials for their transfer courses.

Students in the Master of Education program may transfer in a maximum of 6 credit hours. Although credits may transfer, no transfer grades are recorded nor counted in the cumulative grade point average.
