Advising and Admissions Standards

Advising for Undergraduate Students

 

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) 590-7778 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, Secondary, 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:

  • Admission to the university.
  • Satisfactory completion of all general education requirements.
  • Satisfactory completion of Gordon Rule computation and writing requirements.
  • Passing all subsections of the CLAST, GKT, or Praxis I. No exemptions can be considered.
  • A 2.5 Overall GPA on all work attempted.
  • Completion of the following common prerequisites with a minimum grade of C: EDF 2005 Introduction to Education, EME 2040 Educational Technology (or equivalent), and EDG 2701 Teaching Diverse Populations.

The College of Education limits the transfer of upper level 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.
