Due to COVID-19, BGSU is temporarily waiving the GRE and GMAT requirements for all applicants to any of the University’s graduate certificate and master’s degree programs through fall 2021. Graduate application fees for new domestic applicants are also being waived through fall 2021.

BGSU is temporarily reducing the out-of-state fee to $1 per credit hour for specific graduate programs during the 2020-2021 academic year for out-of-state students who have completed a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Ohio from an Ohio institution.

Educational Foundations & Inquiry

Educational Foundations and Inquiry (EDFI) is the home of the MA in Cross-Cultural and International Education (MACIE) program, and an array of courses on educational foundations, educational psychology, and research and assessment. As an interdisciplinary department in the School of Educational Foundations, Leadership and Policy (EFLP), we teach courses for students in teacher education, special education, counseling and psychological services, higher education, and educational leadership.

The program has developed common expectations for all its undergraduate and graduate courses.

EDFI consists of three distinct academic areas and one field experience program:

Educational Psychology (Drs. Bang, Fasko, Horner, and Booth [on leave])
Assessment, Research and Statistics (Drs. Vannatta, Lavery and Galletta-Horner)
Social Foundations of Education (Drs. Collet, Frey)
Help-a-child (Judy Zorbach)
