Students seeking admission into a Master of Science in Education degree program or a program of study leading to licensure must meet the admission requirements of the Graduate School and the following specific program requirements.

Unconditional Admission Status:

• Hold a valid teaching license and have a minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.00 (on a 4.00 scale).
• Have two years of teaching experience.*
• Have a written commitment from a practicing building-level administrator who will function as your mentor during the degree program/program of study.

Conditional Admission Status:

Students who do not meet the requirements for unconditional admission may be granted conditional admission as follows :

• Hold a valid teaching license and have achieved a minimum cumulative undergraduate grade point average of 2.75 (on a 4.00 scale) or a 3.00 GPA on the last 60 hours. All courses attempted, including any repeated courses, are considered in computing the GPA.
• Have two years of teaching experience.*
• Have a written commitment from a practicing educator who practices in the licensure area you seek and who will function as your mentor during your
  completion of the degree program/program of study.

Any student granted Conditional Admission Status will be advanced to Unconditional Admission Status at such time as the student completes 12 graduate semester hours in the M.S.E in Educational Administration program of study with no course grade lower than "B." Coursework must be taken at either ASU-Jonesboro or at an ASU degree center. A student who fails to remove conditional status upon completing 12 semester hours of graduate work in the program will be dropped from degree program.
