FGCU College of EducationAdvising and Admissions Standards Advising The College of Education advises students who are preparing to enter College of Education programs, who have been admitted to its programs, or who are seeking advice concerning certification and recertification requirements that can be satisfied by enrolling in College of Education courses. Please contact advising staff at (239) 590-7800 for information concerning pre-admission, admission, and certification. The academic advisor will assist students in preparing an academic plan that incorporates university, college, and program requirements including general education, CLAST (College Academic Skills Test), foreign language, Gordon Rule writing and computation, and Eagles Connect-Service Learning. Service Learning activities provide structured learning experiences in community settings and are designed to fulfill specific undergraduate learning goals and outcomes, reinforce and enhance classroom learning, and meet community needs. Once enrolled, students seek faculty advice and mentoring throughout their undergraduate study. These relationships often develop from the classes and the close cohort experiences fostered by the programs. Undergraduate Admissions Standards Integrated Expeditionary Programs in Early Childhood, Elementary and Special Education. Admission to the College of Education and to its upper division teacher education programs is separate from admission to the university and is contingent upon meeting all general university admission requirements and the following college requirements:
The College of Education limits the transfer of coursework into its undergraduate programs. To be considered, courses must have been completed with a minimum grade of C and no more than five years prior to the date of entry into the College of Education undergraduate program. Graduate Admissions Standards Counseling (Mental Health and School Counseling) The following are minimum requirements for admission into a graduate program in the College of Education:
Note: All applicants must submit GPA and graduate admission (GRE or MAT) test scores regardless of which criteria are met for admissions. Some programs may have additional admissions criteria (refer to program information). Students may be required to take specific undergraduate course(s) if they do not have the necessary prerequisites for the graduate level course or program. The College of Education limits the transfer of course work into its graduate programs. To be considered, courses must have been completed with a minimum grade of B and no more than seven years prior to the date entry into the graduate program and no more than ten years prior to graduation from the graduate program. Decisions concerning the transfer of coursework are made at the time of admission. An approved plan of study will be developed in coordination with program advisors and/or faculty. If the number of applicants to a program exceeds the capacity, preference will be given to students who, after review of the entire graduate application, demonstrate the strongest potential for success in the chosen field. Students who have not achieved minimum test scores or the minimum GPA but who meet all other requirements may, under special circumstances, be considered for admission into a program.
