Enroll
To enroll in the program you must be accepted by the department, then complete admission paperwork.
These courses/workshops may be used toward the completion of a master’s degree in:
- Early Childhood Education
- Curriculum and Instruction/Curriculum and Teaching
- Curriculum and Instruction/Middle Childhood
- Special Education General
(In most cases all 14 credit hours would count.)
If you anticipate completing a master’s degree (there is a six year time-frame in which to do so) we suggest that you complete a degree application.
If you already hold a master’s degree, a non-degree application will suffice.
There are other requirements for both applications. Please visit the Office of Graduate Student Services website at www.kent.edu/ehhs/services/ogs for further details or contact Nancy Miller at the office at 330-672-2576.
