Educational Psychology: Teaching Applications M.A.
The Educational Psychology: Teaching Applications Concentration is designed specifically for teachers. The strategically-designed online program will help teachers optimize teaching and learning processes in the classroom.
Applications are due April 1st of each year and all applications are reviewed at the same time after the deadline. Applicants can expect to hear from us by the end of April. The program is a cohort model, in which all participants start in the summer term and take courses together throughout the program.
Applications are evaluated case by case according to the following preferred guidelines:
- Possess (or be in the process of finishing) a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or university, or a comparable degree from a foreign institution.
- Have a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or better (on a 4.00 point scale) for the most recent degree earned or current degree in progress.
- If you are still completing your bachelor's degree at the time you apply, admission will be based on your current cumulative GPA, and you will need to re-submit your official transcript (showing your conferred degree and final GPA) during your first semester. If your final GPA fell below 3.00, you will be given additional requirements as defined by the academic program that must be met within one calendar year to remain enrolled at UNC.
- If you have completed a master's degree, or at least 18 credit hours towards a master's degree, the GPA of your master's work will be used.
- If your GPA for your most recent degree earned or current degree in progress is under 3.0, we ask that you provide us with a rationale regarding why we should consider you for the program (e.g., evidence of success in your profession; length of time since your undergraduate degree, etc.). This rationale should be provided as part of your Personal Statement (see below).
- Note: The Graduate Record Exam (GRE) is NOT required for this program.
