Admission
In addition to meeting requirements for admission established by the School of Graduate Studies, candidates for these degrees who do not meet the minimum cumulative GPA requirement to waive the GRE or MAT, must submit satisfactory Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or Miller Analogies Test (MAT) scores, unless otherwise noted (see Admission Standards). The Adolescence Young Adult, Multi-Age, and Middle Childhood initial teacher licensure programs require passing scores on the state of Ohio’s mandated Praxis II Specialty (Content) Area Exam(s). Contact the college’s Office of Student Services or visit their Web site at www.ed.wright.edu/ss/ to learn more about the Praxis II exams.All students considering graduate-level courses in education and human services should do so with the understanding that graduate study differs in quality from undergraduate study. Graduate study requires that students be increasingly self-directed. Students are not guaranteed a master’s degree by attending and completing courses. Exit requirements must be met in all programs.
Admission to the College of Education and Human Services is based on the candidate’s written statement of purpose, consideration of undergraduate and/or graduate cumulative grade point average, submission of satisfactory scores on either the MAT, GRE, or other required examination, and in some cases, letters of reference and a personal interview (see Admission Standards).
Technology Policy
For admission to the college, all College of Education and Human Services students, graduate and undergraduate, part-time and full-time, will be expected to certify that they own or have access to a computer and the Internet.
In order to meet the mission of the college “…to prepare professionals to meet the educational and human services needs of a diverse, democratic society,” it is necessary for our students to play an active role in the technological environment the college and Wright State University are creating to assist in the completion of this mission. An increasing number of classes and options will become available to students using a variety of distributed learning formats; library resources are available in a growing number of full-text formats, and global connections via telecommunications will be part of daily operations. Students preparing to become professionals in education and human service areas must demonstrate appropriate and effective skills and knowledge in technological aspects of their work.
Minimum equipment standards will be either a Power Macintosh or Pentium-based Personal Computer (PC). The college supports Macintosh computers in faculty and staff offices and maintains computer labs. Wright State University has purchased a site license for most Microsoft software (see the Web page for Wright State’s Computing and Telecommunications Services, http://www.wright.edu/cats/ for details). The college’s standard software packages are currently Office 2001 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), FileMaker Pro, and Netscape; the specific packages, however, are subject to change.
Initial Teaching Credential
Students seeking to enroll in a Teacher Education program designed to deliver an initial teaching credential (license) are required to pass the Praxis II specialty/content area exam(s) as defined by current state of Ohio standards. Candidates to these programs must contact the college’s Office of Student Services for assistance in identifying the appropriate exam(s) for his/her desired teaching field. Students unable to achieve a passing score as defined by state of Ohio standards will not be admitted to a Teacher Education program. Students seeking to enroll in a Teacher Education program designed to deliver an initial teaching credential will not be required to take the GRE or MAT exams. An exception to this rule is the Intervention Specialist programs. Applicants to these programs must take the GRE or MAT exams, unless eligible to waive testing requirement based on cumulative GPA (see Admission Standards).
Admission Standards
Candidates with a grade point average of less than 2.3 on a 4.0 grading system are not ordinarily admitted to graduate school. A petition process is available to formally request admissions not having met an admission standard. Candidates for admission to the Department of Human Services must meet additional requirements, which include three letters of reference, a personal interview, and a writing sample. Candidates for admission to certain programs in the Departments of Educational Leadership and Teacher Education must meet additional requirements, which include letters of reference, a personal interview, a writing sample, a self-assessment instrument, and Praxis II specialty area exams.
Waiver of GRE/MAT
Candidates to Educational Leadership master’s degree programs, Health, Physical Education, and Recreation (HPR) programs, and select Teacher Education programs may not be required to submit passing GRE or MAT scores if their cumulative undergraduate GPA is a 3.0 or higher (graduate level GPA must be 3.0 or higher.) Candidates to Teacher Education programs requiring a passing score on a PRAXIS II specialty area exam(s) must submit passing Praxis scores regardless of undergraduate GPA.
Candidates to Human Services programs may not be required to submit passing GRE or MAT scores if their cumulative undergraduate GPA is a 3.3 or higher.
Conditional
Students who have an undergraduate grade point average of 2.5 or better, or who have an average between 2.3 and 2.5 with 2.7 or better in the last half of undergraduate work, may be granted conditional admission.
Regular admission to the College of Education and Human Services is granted after successful completion of 12 hours of course work with a grade of B or better in each course.
Licensure Candidate
Students who wish to complete licensure requirements at the graduate level but do not wish to pursue a graduate degree may be admitted as licensure candidates with the permission of the department in which the programs are housed. See Praxis II testing requirement above.
Nondegree Status
Persons who have a bachelor’s degree may enroll in nondegree status for graduate courses without being admitted to a graduate program. If you wish to enroll in a degree program, only 50 percent of such credits may be applied to a degree program if they are appropriate, with the exception of the Department of Human Services, which only allows 12 hours of nondegree credit to be applied to one of its degree programs.
Entry requirements vary by program. All students will be required to pass a standardized test, have a 2.7 grade point average as an undergraduate, submit a sample of writing, and have an admissions interview and a criminal background check. All students who seek to attain a teaching license will be required to meet Ohio standards on a Praxis II Principles of Learning and Teaching exam at the end of the licensure portion of the program.
Praxis II Specialty (Content Area) exams will serve as the entrance exam for the Middle Childhood, Multi-Age, and Adolescent to Young Adult initial licensure programs. The Early Childhood program and the Intervention Specialists programs require the Graduate Record Exam (a combined score of 800 or more on the Quantitative and Verbal portion of the exam) or the Miller Analogy Test (a score of 30 or better) as the entrance exam. All candidates for an initial licensure program (in any licensure area) must complete the college’s application process concurrent with the School of Graduate Studies application. The college’s initial teacher applications are found on the Office of Student Services Web site at www.ed.wright.edu/ss/. Please contact the college’s Office of Student Services if you have any questions about the requirements of a particular program.
Please note that the initial licensure programs in Middle Childhood (MC), Multi-Age (MA), and Adolescent Young Adult (AYA) programs currently require students to be full-time students in order to complete both course work and meet the Ohio Department of Education requirements for field experiences in schools.
Advising
Teacher Licensure Advisors and Faculty AdvisorsThe college’s Office of Student Services is referred to in many areas of this catalog. Persons considering becoming a teacher and teachers who have questions about adding a new licensure area are encouraged to visit the Office of Student Services and consult with a licensure advisor. The office is located in 378 Allyn Hall and employs full-time professional licensure advisors for consultation. Advisors are available without an appointment during regularly scheduled walk-in advising times. Daytime and evening walk-in advising is available; please consult the office’s Web site for current information regarding advising times at www.ed.wright.edu/ss/.
These advisors are charged by the college to audit student’s programs for compliance with state of Ohio teacher licensure standards. Working with these advisors as you begin your studies will greatly increase the probability that you will select and take the appropriate courses for any given licensure area. Your application for the teaching license is filed with this office, and the licensure advisors assist the faculty by auditing your program at various stages of your program.
Many of our teacher licensure programs are also degree programs. We also offer advanced programs of study that provide current teachers with the opportunity for an in-depth study of an area, and the program does not include a new teaching license. Faculty advisors are assigned to each degree-seeking student at the point of acceptance to develop a separate plan for the degree. This formal program of study should be completed during the first term of a student’s program. The faculty advisor will determine course substitutes, transfer of credit, and other appropriate modifications of the published degree curriculum as it appears in this catalog. The faculty advisor provides professional advising regarding current research, career development, and professional organizations. Any questions regarding the degree portion of your program will be directed to this faculty advisor. The licensure advisors will consult with this faculty person when needed.
Degree Requirements
Middle Childhood (Grades 4 through 9 and ages 8 through 14)Middle Childhood teachers will teach two of the following subject (content) areas: language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. This is a full time program of study currently requiring your commitment Monday through Friday. Students from Wright State University’s Bachelor of Education program in Middle Childhood Education and others with a bachelor’s degree who meet the content requirements (two content concentrations) of Wright State’s educator program will be enrolled in this program in a cohort group. Prerequisite content requirements are described on the college’s Web site at www.ed.wright.edu/ss/.
Students will serve as interns in school settings throughout the school year. Therefore, this program operates on a different calendar than the university. Upon successful completion of the licensure portion of this program and passing the Praxis II exams in the Principles of Learning and Teaching 5–9 and the Praxis II subject area(s), the student may apply for a provisional license in Middle Childhood Education. The state of Ohio will require a criminal background check as a part of the licensure application. A Master of Education degree in classroom teaching may be earned with the successful completion of an Inquiry Project. This program may be completed in 15 months of full time study and internship.
At the time of publication of this catalog, the above program was being revised. Please contact the college’s Office of Student Services for current information.
Note regarding the Middle Childhood Generalist Endorsement:
The state of Ohio has an endorsement available to the Middle Childhood license. The college has an approved program for the middle childhood generalist licensed teacher to add the English and/or Social Studies concentrations to their Middle Childhood mathematics and science concentrations license. This endorsement requires additional undergraduate content courses and passing the required Praxis II subject area assessments. The Middle Childhood Generalist Endorsement qualifies one to work in self-contained classrooms in grades 4 to 6. We expect to have approval from the state of Ohio for adding the Mathematics and Science areas by Fall 2005.
Adolescent Young Adult (Grades 7 through 12, ages 12 through 21)
The holder of an AYA license will teach a single subject such as language arts, social sciences, mathematics, or science in grades 7 through 12. To learn more about the approved AYA teaching (content) areas of study that Wright State offers, please visit our college’s Office of Student Services.
This is currently a full-time program of study requiring your commitment Monday through Friday. Students from Wright State University and others with a bachelor’s degree who meet the content requirements of Wright State’s educator program will be enrolled in this program in a cohort group. Prerequisite content requirements are described on the college’s Web site at www.ed.wright.edu/ss/.

The state of Ohio will require a criminal background check as a part of the licensure application. A Master of Education degree in classroom teaching may be earned with the successful completion of an Inquiry Project. This program may be completed in 15 months of full time study and internship.
At the time of publication of this catalog, the above program was being revised. Please contact the college’s Office of Student Services for current information.
Multi-Age (Grades pre-kindergarten through 12, ages 3 through 21)
Wright State is approved to endorse candidates for the Multi-Age license for those persons who wish to teach a modern language (French or Spanish), health education, physical education, or visual arts. (Music education is only available on the undergraduate level through the university’s College of Liberal Arts.)
This is currently a full-time program of study requiring your commitment Monday through Friday. Students from Wright State University and others with a bachelor’s degree who meet the content requirements of Wright State’s educator program will be enrolled in this program in a cohort group. Prerequisite content requirements are described on the college’s Web site at www.ed.wright.edu/ss/.
Students will serve as interns in school settings throughout the school year. Therefore, this program operates on a different calendar than the university.

At the time of publication of this catalog, the above program was being revised. Please contact the college’s Office of Student Services for current information.
Early Childhood Programs (Grades pre-kindergarten through 3, ages 3 through 8)
The Early Childhood graduate programs are designed to address the needs of two different audiences: (1) holders of an early childhood education license or certificates who seek a master’s degree, and (2) holders of an elementary teaching certificate or license who seek a master’s degree (and the early childhood license).
The college requires the GRE or MAT exam as the entrance exam for this program unless the cumulative undergraduate and graduate GPA is 3.0 or higher.
Classroom Teacher: Early Childhood Education
This program is for those individuals with a valid certificate or license in Early Childhood or Elementary Education. Students not licensed in Early Childhood will need additional courses in order to achieve licensure first or concurrently. Please visit our college’s Office of Student Services to learn about licensure requirements.
At the time of publication of this catalog, the above program was being revised. Please contact the college’s Office of Student Services for current information.
Early Childhood Education Intervention Specialist License
This is not a master’s degree program. This enables a teacher to work with children 3–5 years old with special needs. This can be an initial licensure program or a program for one who already has a teaching credential. Please visit our college’s Office of Student Services to learn about the licensure requirements for this program.
Intervention Specialist Programs (Grades Kindergarten through 12, ages 5 through 21)
The Intervention Specialist Programs in Gifted, Mild to Moderate, and Moderate to Intensive Educational Needs are available for the currently practicing teacher as well as those persons who are not currently holding a teaching license. These are separate, individual programs. Because of the high demand for intervention specialists, it is not uncommon for persons to be employed by a school district on a special, temporary license pending completion of an Intervention Specialist licensure program. These programs are designed to serve both of those populations. Candidates who are not currently licensed will be required to complete prerequisite coursework prior to entering the professional course sequence. Please consult with a licensure advisor in the college’s Office of Student Services regarding prerequisite coursework.
Upon successful completion of the licensure portion of this program and passing any one of the Praxis II exams in the Principles of Learning and Teaching and passing the Praxis II Specialty (Content) exams in special education, the student may apply for a provisional Intervention Specialists license valid for teaching students in the program area the student completed (Mild to Moderate, Moderate to Intensive, Gifted). A Master of Education degree in classroom teaching may be earned with the successful completion of the balance of the programs.
Note: The following Classroom Teacher programs are not initial licensure programs. They are available solely for advanced study by current teachers.
Classroom Teacher: General
The general classroom teacher program is designed for teachers who desire additional preparation in a field or area not offering a specialized program or certificate/licensure. This program offers a more flexible option for highly motivated persons who seek a master’s degree with a specific professional objective, such as additional course work to update knowledge or skills in the content field. 12 hours may be taken either in advanced professional studies or in courses offered outside the College of Education and Human Services in a teaching discipline.
At the time of publication of this catalog, the above program was being revised. Please contact the college’s Office of Student Services for current information
