M.Ed. -  Higher Education

Students must complete and fully satisfy the Department, College and University requirements for admission to the program.  Please note, the program has switched to a cohort admissions structure. Admissions decisions will be made only one time a year based on a competitive applicant pool. All applications for the new Fall 2010 cohort will due on or before January 31, 2010.

Deadlines are as follows:

Application Materials:

· Graduate application (former UH Main Campus graduate students submit General Petition instead)

· $45.00 Application fee

· 2 official copies of transcripts reflecting the last 60 hours from the Bachelor's degree (including Post Baccalaureate work, if any); former UH Main Campus students do not need to submit transcripts-accounts can be viewed in system.

· Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores (scores must be within the last 5 years).

· An updated resume

· Two letters of recommendation from employers or other professional or educational associates

· A 500-word statement of purpose  addressing the applicant's professional aspirations and the ways in which a Masters degree from this program might further those goals. Additionally, the essay should highlight unique experiences or qualifications the applicant may have that would actively contribute to a community of scholars studying higher education.
