Admission
The deadlines for applications for admission to REMS M.A. and Ph.D. programs are April 15 for fall admission and November 15 for spring admission. If these dates fall on a weekend, applications should be received by the following Monday. If students are interested in applying for either the Presidential or Graduate School fellowships (for more information go to http://www.gradsch.uga.edu/Financial/Assistantships.html) should apply by January 15 for fall admission in order to allow sufficient time for consideration for these awards.
Candidates for the Master of Education (MEd) and Master of Arts (MA) degrees must have an undergraduate grade point average of at least 2.6 (on a 4 point scale) and a total (Verbal plus Quantitative) Graduate Record Exam (GRE) score of 850 with at least 400 on each of the Verbal and Quantitative portions of the test. Alternatively, a Miller Analogies Test (MAT) score of at least 44 is required for MEd applicants.
Candidates for the Doctor of Education (EdD) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programs must have a minimum undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 (on a 4 point scale) and a graduate grade point average of 3.5. The candidate must also have a total (Verbal plus Quantitative) GRE of 1000.
International applicants must also submit Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) scores (if English is not the native language). The Graduate School requires a minimum TOEFL score of 550 to be admitted into the University.
Exceptions to the above requirements are possible on an individual case basis.
All full-time Graduate Faculty in the Program review the application folder of each candidate. A recommendation to the Graduate School for admission is made if a majority of the faculty vote for admission and at least one faculty member agrees to advise the student temporarily. Candidates admitted into the Program are notified by the Graduate School.
Upon admission, a student is assigned a temporary advisor. This advisor assists the student in the initial course selection and clear the student for registration. Anytime after the first semester in the program, the student may change their advisor. Doctoral students are encouraged to identify an advisory committee before the end of the third semester of study.
