- your departmental advisor has approved this as part of your program of study (if applicable).

Applicants must submit the following to the Office of Graduate Admissions: the general application for admission, a $50 application-processing fee, two official copies of transcripts from the institution which awarded the highest degree, and a statement of purpose. (The statement of purpose should state Educational Psychology Endorsement -Gifted Education)
- Will GCTWeb courses count in my degree program? A student who takes courses as a non-degree may subsequently transfer up to nine hours of credit (i.e. 3 courses) into a graduate degree program at the University of Georgia, subject to the approval of the advisor. Students should note that participation in the GCTWeb program on a non-degree basis does not constitute admission to the master’s degree or any other graduate degree program at the University of Georgia. Further, GCTWeb participation does not assure students that they will subsequently be admitted to a graduate degree program at the University of Georgia.
