Admission Policy

Criteria for Admission

Students apply to the Coppin State University School of Graduate Studies through the Office of Admissions. The Dean and Associate Dean of the Graduate School in cooperation with Chairpersons of the academic departments make admission decisions. These persons constitute the Graduate Admissions Committee.

Applicants must submit:

• A completed application
• An application fee of $45.00
• Official transcripts from the undergraduate degree granting institution, and all other colleges and universities attended
• Three (3) current letters of reference from the current employer, instructors, or other persons who can attest to their character, integrity, and academic potential

In addition to official transcripts and three (3) letters of reference, the School of Graduate Studies requires a recent Graduate Record Examination (GRE) for admission to the MAT and the M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction programs. A GRE or PRAXIS score may be used as data to assist the Graduate Admissions Committee in making admissions decisions.
