Other Requirements
During the first year, students will be required to enroll in nine credit hours in the fall semester (EDAM 650, 651, and 652) and nine credit hours in the spring semester (EDAM 660, 661, and 670). During the second year, students will be required to enroll in six semester credit hours during the fall semester (EDAM 671 and 690) and three credit hours during the spring semester (EDAM 691).
For admissions information, please see the guidelines for add-on licensure applicants at the master’s level in the admissions section of the graduate catalog.
Students may take up to three years to finish the add-on program due to interruptions in their enrollment and the availability of required courses offered when they wish to re-enroll. However, if the student must withdraw for a semester, upon returning to the program, the student can return only the semester that the course sequence is offered. Students must complete the program (coursework and internship) within three years of the term of their initial admission.
In addition, students must be available to participate in scheduled enhancement activities. A Written Comprehensive Examination and an Action Research Project are required.
*Please note that a candidate may request to transfer a maximum of six credit hours of master’s level courses from an accredited education program. This request must be approved by the MSA Director, Department chairperson, and finally, the Dean of Education in that order. In addition, the transfer courses must be aligned with the program course sequence.
