MASTER'S DEGREES - MASTER'S OF ARTS

Admission to graduate study does not guarantee admission to an advanced degree program. Responsibility for determining eligibility for admission to graduate degree programs rests primarily with the academic departments. The academic departments are responsible for receiving degree status admission applications and for determination of admissibility.

Formal application to master's degree study should be made to the School of HPELS (contact listed below), where descriptive materials and application packets may be obtained. To be considered for admission, each applicant must:

	Hold a bachelor's degree from a college or university accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools or a corresponding regional agency. (A graduate of a college or university that is not accredited may be granted provisional admission at the discretion of the Dean of the Graduate College.)
	Submit transcripts of all previous academic work . Applicants must have an undergraduate GPA of3.0 or higher to be considered for admission as a degree student.
	Complete the Test of English as a Foreign Language Examination (TOEFL) with a score of 600 or better, if English is not the applicant's first language. Note: International students are required to provide additional material prior to admission; materials should be requested from and submitted to: International Services Office, H#33, UNI, Cedar Falls. IA 50614-0521.

Provisional degree status may be recommended for an applicant who does not meet all of the requirements or for whom it is felt that further graduate course work or professional experience would be useful in making the admission decision. Provisional degree status will not be considered for applicants whose admission files are incomplete. An individual admitted to provisional degree status must be formally reconsidered for regular admission, and course work completed during that time must be subsequently approved by an appropriate faculty committee before it may be applied to a degree.

These students pay undergraduate fees and may not apply credit earned toward a graduate program.
