I have already earned a Master's degree in another program or am currently enrolled in another Master's program. Will it transfer?
Courses taken at another institution or at BGSU in another program will count if the courses are the same as are required
for the degree or licensure and are approved by the Program Coordinator and Licensing Officer in Educational Administration
and Supervision (EALS). If the courses are for the Master's program, they must have been taken within the last five years.
If I already have a Master's degree in Education, do I need to apply to the Master's of Education degree in Educational Administration
and Supervision in order to apply for an administrative license?
If you already have a Master's degree in Education you will not need to apply to the Master's degree in Educational Administration
and Supervision in order to apply for an administrative license. If you are interested in another graduate degree (a second
master’s or an educational specialist), please contact the EDAS Program Coordinator. Please note that since required classes vary according to each program, one of our advisors will do a transcript audit and
list the classes that you need in order to get all the coursework needed to apply for licensure.
Will I have to write a thesis or take comprehensive exams?
Two plans are offered for the Master of Education degree in Educational Administration.
Plan I is a 30-hour program culminating with a thesis. Plan I necessitates the completion of 18-21 hours in the major area
(EDAS), six semester hours of coursework in statistics and educational research and at least three credit hours of thesis
research (EDAS 6990).
Plan II is a 33-semester hour program culminating with a comprehensive examination. Plan II necessitates the completion of
18-21 semester hours in the major area (EDAS), six semester hours of coursework in statistics and educational research, and
the addition of an appropriate number of hours in courses in related disciplines.
Yes. GRE scores must be received by the Graduate College before the end of the first semester of classes you take in the program
or you will be unable to register for additional classes.
