Program Admission Notes:

Program Admission Requirements:

A portfolio review is required for admission to the program.

An overall GPA of 2.7 is required for admission to all Educator Preparation Program degree and licensure programs.

If a student does not meet the requirements, s/he may apply for a pre-education major status at the end of the freshman year. The pre-major status provides an opportunity for the pre-education student to work towards achieving the requirements to declare the major (and ultimately be admitted to teacher education) and allows the student to determine whether or not a degree in teacher education is an appropriate fit for his/her career goals.

Admission as a pre-major does not guarantee admission to the major.

Art Education students need to be aware of the requirements for Admission to the Educator Preparation Program in the College of Education:
