The School of Applied Behavioral Sciences and Educational Leadership prepares students for professional positions in schools, colleges, and community agencies. Graduates function in a variety of roles, including administration, supervision, counseling, consultation, teaching, and research. Programs are designed to meet state certification requirements where applicable, in addition to providing flexibility to meet specific student competency needs and interests.
To pursue graduate study in the School of Applied Behavioral Sciences and Educational Leadership (SABSEL), you must meet established graduate requirements and be accepted by the appropriate program faculty. There are two degree-granting programs within the school: Educational Leadership and Counselor Education. If you are an applicant for a master's degree program and do not have a 2.9 overall (4.00 scale) or a 3.25 g.p.a. on the last 90 quarter hours (4.00 scale), you will be required to submit a test score from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) (verbal and quantitative) or the Miller Analogies Test (MAT). If you are applying for the doctoral program, submit the results of both the GRE (verbal and quantitative) and the MAT. To apply for the Educational Specialist Program, you must possess a master's degree from an accredited institution of higher education. Applicants at all levels must submit letters of recommendation and autobiographies, and may be required to appear for interviews. Ph.D. applicants will be required to take a writing exercise at the time of the admission interview.
If you are considering graduate work in SABSEL, arrange to complete the application process well in advance of the quarter in which you expect to begin study. If you have not taken the Graduate Record Examination or the Miller Analogies Test within the past five years, you should note that these examinations are administered only on certain specified dates throughout the year and that the interval between administration and receipt of scores is ordinarily six weeks.
You may apply for scholarships, graduate associateships, and fellowships. If you are accepted for a graduate associateship, you will do research or be assigned teaching responsibilities in the College of Education.
