College of Education and Human Development
General Requirements for Admission to Professional Programs
The programs of study in the College of Education and Human Development are composed of two phases—the pre-professional phase and the professional phase. The pre-professional phase consists of basic University Core Curriculum requirements and introductory courses to the major field of study. The professional phase consists of advanced work in the major field of study, courses in the professional undergirding disciplines and professional studies courses.
Upon entering the College of Education and Human Development, students are assigned a general College of Education and Human Development major that tracks the pre-professional phase of their chosen program. To advance to the professional phase of the chosen program and to be accepted into the professional major, students must meet the program entry requirements and be accepted by the program faculty. Students are responsible for contacting the departmental advisors to obtain information about specific requirements for their major and program areas.
