There is typically one application cycle per year for Fall matriculation; however, due to COVID-19, there will be a spring application cycle (January 2021) enrollment opportunity. The application deadline for Spring 2021 matriculation is November 30, 2020.
Typically, classes meet in-person on the Coral Gables campus during Fall and Spring semesters, with hybrid class formatting during Summer for most courses. In Fall 2020, we will begin meeting online, and gradually shift in mid-October to in-person, as the COVID-19 situation allows.
Only U.S. teachers teaching full-time are eligible to receive the Dean’s Scholarship.
No, the GRE was waived for Fall 2020 applicants due to COVID-19. As of January 2021, the UM Graduate School and Faculty has waived the GRE for incoming applications, thus it is no longer needed/accepted as an application requirement for this program.
Upon admission to the program, a proctored writing sample will be arranged for and elicited online or in-person during the first semester of the program. This writing sample will allow faculty to provide any support needed with academic writing and other skills needed in order to be successful in a rigorous graduate program.
