Graduate Progression Criteria

In the final undergraduate year, students in the B.S. Mathematics / M.S. Adolescence Education, Grades 7-12 program will be evaluated by the School of Education Associate Dean and graduate Program Director for a review of their qualifications to progress to the graduate education portion of the program, including:

1. Minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA and in Graduate Education courses

2. Submit a written Effective Educator Statement.
