Those who apply to the Texas A&M University-Commerce Graduate School for admission to one of the master’s degree programs in educational administration must meet the general admission requirements.
General A&M-Commerce Graduate School admissions policies are described elsewhere in this catalog. Students who apply for admission have two admissions options available: (1) regular degree seeking admission or (2) admission as a nondegree seeking student. Beyond the universityadmissions requirements, the department requires the following to be screened for full admission to master’s degree programs: Two letters of recommendation from school administrators, score on the verbal, quantitative, and written portions of the Graduate Record Examination, and an undergraduate grade point average of 2.75. Applicants without an acceptable application packet will be considered for probationary admission. |
Master of Science and Master of Education in Educational Administration
The MS and MEd degree programs include 36 required hours in educational administration. All 36 required hours apply to the department’s principal certification program. Students who are seeking the master’s degree and principal certification should select approved electives that align with departmental requirements for principal certification. Students who have not been fully admitted to the program may take up to 6 hours of coursework under nondegree-seeking status while their admission status is pending. These courses are EDAD 615 and EDAD 626 No other courses may be taken until fully admitted.
Fully admitted students will take the following courses: Required Core Courses (12 sh)
Required Support Courses (21 sh)
Select 1 Course from the following: (3 sh)
Notes
Students with probationary admission must achieve a grade point average of 3.5 in the first four courses to continue in the program. Grade points earned from other courses or transferred courses may not be used to satisfy this grade point requirement.
Students with objectives other than principal certification may be advised to substitute other courses in their degree plan, when appropriate.
In addition to coursework, the master’s degree programs require satisfactory performance on the department’s comprehensive examination. The comprehensive examination may be taken during the semester in which 36 hours are scheduled to be completed, including the 36 required EdAd hours noted above.
The department’s residency requirement for the master’s degree is fulfilled by completing a residency seminar, typically done in the initial semester of enrollment toward the master’s degree. |
