F.A.Q.

Is it possible to begin enrollment in any other term besides Fall?

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.

Are class meetings formatted for in-person, hybrid, or online courses?

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.

I am a prospective international student who teaches full-time in my country. Do I qualify for the Dean’s Scholarship?

Only U.S. teachers teaching full-time are eligible to receive the Dean’s Scholarship.

Are there any scholarship opportunities offered by the School of Education and Human Development for this program?

At this time, full-time teachers who are teaching in U.S. school districts are eligible for a 60% tuition scholarship; however, this is subject to change each academic year.

Is the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) required for admission?

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.

Why is a proctored writing sample required upon admission?

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.
