In addition to the general requirements of the university, specific requirements for admission to "classified" graduate status are:
- A cumulative grade point average of 3.0 ("B") in all upper-division courses; and
- Three letters of recommendation, from individuals familiar with the applicant's work history or educational background, using a program approved template of the letters of recommendation.
Students who do not meet these criteria may be admitted as “conditionally classified” graduate students. Students admitted in this category may be changed to classified standing with approval from the College of Education. No more than 15-semester units may be used to demonstrate fitness to complete the program.
