University Admission

 Complete the WSU application for admission form, which can be obtained from the Admissions Office, Student Services Bldg., Weber State University, Ogden, Utah 84408-1137, (801) 626-6743. If you previously attended WSU and have not attended another institution since, the admission fee will not be charged. However, you need to request the Admissions Office to activate your file on the computer system to register for classes. The admission fee will be required from students who have attended another institution since attending WSU and students new to Weber State. Admission to WSU does not constitute admission to the MEd program, nor does admission to the program constitute admission to Weber State University. Both applications must be completed.

MEd Program Admission

Apply for admission prior to completing 9 graduate level semester credit hours (12 quarter hours). Complete the application form and return it to the MEd office with your $25 non-refundable application fee. Note: Fees must be paid before the application will be processed.

Teaching Licensure

 Indicate on the application form if you are licensed to teach. Provide a copy of the certificate.

Student Transcript Request

 Request official transcripts, which verify degree(s) received and previous coursework. Each institution should mail the transcript directly to the MEd office. A transcript delivered or mailed by the student will not be accepted. A transcript marked issued to student is not official. If an institution was attended under a different name, please note the change on the request form and application. If you graduated from WSU, you must send WSU Records Office a written request that your official transcript be sent to the MEd office. There is no charge for this transcript.

Note to International Applicants-Additional Requirements:

Have your transcripts and Bachelor's degree evaluated by a foreign evaluation credential service selected from the agencies listed at the bottom of the page. The Bachelor's degree and each course on the transcript must be evaluated into the equivalent of American credits and letter grades. Contact the selected agency to determine the procedures and fees required for this service. You are responsible for the fees. The evaluated transcript must be sent by the agency directly to the MEd office.

You must also provide verification of a current TOEFL score of 550 or above

Grade Point Average

If the GPA for the last 60 semester or 90 quarter credit hours is 3.0 to 3.24, you will be required to take either the Miller's Analogies Test (MAT) and pass with a minimum score of 40 or the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and pass the Verbal, Quantitative, and Analytical portions with a minimum score of 480 each. Call the WSU Testing Center, Stewart Library, (801) 626-6803, for test information. A fee is required for both tests. The MAT and the GRE may be repeated once.

Recommendation Forms

Submit recommendation forms to three persons who have had the opportunity to observe your teaching. List your references on the application form. At least one of the references must be someone in a supervisory position who can verify one year, full-time, post-baccalaureate, professional teaching. The completed recommendation forms should be mailed directly to the MEd office. You may wish to supply stamped envelopes, addressed to the MEd office.

Calculated Grade Point Average (latest 60 semester hours)

You will be notified by the MEd office if you will be required to take the MAT or GRE, or if you calculated GPA is below a 3.0 and is not sufficient for admissions to the program.

Oral and Writing Proficiency Assessment

When the completed application form, transcripts, recommendations, verifications, and required test scores have been received by the MEd office, you will be advised by mail to schedule a writing proficiency assessment and an oral interview with the program director. The purpose of the oral interview (approximately half an hour) is to demonstrate your communication and interpersonal skills. The purpose of the writing proficiency assessment (approximately 75 minutes) is to evaluate your ability to communicate through writing.
