Admission We are currently accepting applications for the M.S. in Literacy, Culture, and Language Education degree program. Before applying, prospective students should take the GRE exam and the TOEFL test (for those students whose native language is not English). Note: the GRE is waived for applicants holding U.S. citizenship whose final, cumulative undergraduate GPA averaged across all undergraduate institutions attended was 3.00 or higher. Special Student Status You do not need to be an admitted student to take some of our online courses. Students who wish to take courses for the purposes of renewing a teaching license or for personal development may apply for special student status. Students who seek admission to a graduate degree or licensure program are not eligible for Special Student status. Special Student status is limited to 15 credit hours or one year, whichever comes first. However, a maximum of 15 credits completed prior to formal admission may be applied to the Master's degree. Students interested in completing the Master's degree program are strongly encouraged to seek consultation and formally apply to the program before exceeding this limit.
