Graduate Status
Admission to all graduate programs in the College of Education is selective and often very competitive. Simply meeting the minimal criteria does not ensure admission. Admission to one of the College’s masters or doctoral degree programs requires the completion of the application requirements outlined by the Program, the Department, and the College.
Admission to graduate programs at the University of Houston requiresthat official transcripts are submitted to the UH Graduate School. Applicants must possess a 2.6 cumulative undergraduate Grade Point Average (GPA) or over the last 60 credit hours of coursework. Applicants who do not meet this requirement should address, in their goal statement, the reasons for their undergraduate degree performance and discuss other academic indicators that provide supportive evidence of their potential to meet the demands of rigorous study at the graduate level.
Beyond providing transcripts, all College of Education graduate programs have additional admission requirements, which may include letters of recommendation, resume/CV, statement of interest, writing sample, and/or a personal interview. Deadlines for submission of application materials vary by specific program. For more information, consult the appropriate academic program.
Professional Certificates and Certification Programs
Individuals with a bachelor’s or master’s degree who wish to enroll in a professional certificate or advanced certification program in the College of Education are eligible to apply. Individuals must complete an application for admission and submit all required supplemental materials.
Students who later decide to apply for admission to a graduate degree program must complete an application for admission and submit all supplemental materials. Students are eligible to apply six (6) graduate credit hours, in which the grade of B or higher was earned, to the degree program. Students requesting transfer credit must follow the process outlined in the UH Graduate Catalog which requires faculty evaluation and approval.
