MEd
in CTE Applications are accepted year round!
When you apply to the Masters
in CTE program you will immediately be accepted in a "pre plan"
status that will allow you to register for classes for one
semester. Once you have a complete application file (see
below for more information) your admission will be processed
prior to the end of the semester. Graduate application are
processed twice per semester (approximately Aug, Nov, Jan, and
May). |
Admissions requirements:
-
Obtain a Bachelor's degree
with a minimum 3.0 GPA*
-
Apply
to the NAU Graduate College including submission of official transcripts
from all prior institutions of higher education.
-
Complete the CTE Masters
application (including the 500 word
personal philosophy of career and technical education). If you
complete the online Graduate College application the CTE application
is part of the application .
* if you have less than a 3.0 undergraduate GPA you will be
provisionally admitted and required to complete 9 hours of graduate credit
with A's and B's before being granted regular admission.
ADVISEES ARE EXPECTED
TO COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
-
Apply to the Graduate
College: Old Main/Ashurst, NAU Box 4125, telephone (928) 523-4348, and
have official copies of all your transcripts sent to that office.
You can apply via mail, fax, in-person, or online. See
http://www.nau.edu/gradcol/graduationapp.htm for all application
options. You need to indicate that the degree you are seeking is a Masters in
Education and your major is Career and Technical Education. If
you had previously been admitted to the Graduate College as a
non-degree seeking student or into a different
program, you need to complete a
Change
of Graduate Program or Major form. There is a $50 fee to
change your program and if you are changing from non-degree seeking
to degree-seeking you will need to submit official transcripts from
prior institutions. This MUST be done before you register for
more than 12 hours or you are at-risk of additional hours not
counting towards your degree.
-
If you do not apply to the graduate
college online OR if you were previously admitted to NAU's graduate
college and use the Change of Program or Major form, you will need
to complete the CTE Department Application. This is an online
application (MEd in CTE
application). If you initially complete the online
application for the Graduate College and indicate Career and
Technical Education as your major the department application is part
of the online application.
-
Review the Program
of Study which outlines the required coursework for the degree.
Formal advising is not required for the degree, and advising holds
are not placed on graduate student accounts. Please note that
any deviations or substitutions must be approved by your advisor IN
ADVANCE of taking the class or the class may not be accepted towards
graduation requirements. Also note that it is not recommended
that you take any course other than CTE691 to meet the research
requirement as material from this course is covered in the oral exit
exam which is required for graduation in the extended coursework
option.
-
Upon admission you will be assigned
either Nicole O'Grady
or Dr. Michael Roberts as an advisor. Advising is usually done via email
or telephone. Advising can be done in person but you will need
to schedule an appointment. If you need advising prior to
admission (while in "pre plan" status) you may contact either Nicole
O'Grady or Dr. Roberts for advising.
-
If
appropriate, complete a Petition
for Transfer Credit form and have reviewed/approved by your CTE
advisor. Your advisor MUST approve all transfer
credit. In addition, transfer credits must also be approved by
the department chair and the graduate college. A maximum of 9 hours of transfer credit may be granted
if the "Regulations Governing Transfer Credit" are
met. These regulations can be found on page two of the Petition
document linked above.
-
You need to be admitted as a degree
seeking student before you complete more than 9 graduate credit
hours. If you are not, the credits may not apply towards
graduation.
-
An
Application
for Graduation, obtained from the Graduate Studies Office or the Office
of Admission and Records, should be completed the semester you expect
to graduate. If you are in the extended coursework option you
will schedule your exit oral exam for that same semester.
