  • Official test score reports. The Graduate Record Exam (GRE) is required. For international applicants, the TOEFL is required in addition to the GRE. Additional information is available on the Graduate School Admissions page.

  • Official transcripts from colleges and universities attended in the past. Information on submitting transcripts can be found on the Graduate School Admissions page.

Step II: Materials to be submitted directly to the Program in Educational Administration and Policy

  • References.

    • The names and e-mail addresses of recommenders who are familiar with the applicant’s professional and/or academic work should be listed in the Graduate School application by the applicant. Recommenders will receive a link to access a secure page in order to submit the recommendation via the Web.

    • Applicants must secure at least one formal recommendation from a former professor who has familiarity with academic qualifications needed to sustain the rigors of the Ed.D. The faculty in the Program in Educational Administration and Policy will not provide letters of recommendation to applicants for the Ed.D.
