Entry requirements

Admission to the Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies is competitive and some qualified applicants may not be admitted if demand exceeds the program’s capacity to serve all applicants. All applicants/students must meet university, college, department, and Texas Administrative Code qualifications in order to participate in educator preparation programs. Out-of-state students will not qualify for Texas educator certification. Therefore, students should review their state's requirements to determine if completion of a program at UTA will lead to certification in their state. Program areas have additional requirements including documents for TEA reporting, including: 1) a written response to the given prompt (fulfills “other screening instrument” as required by The Texas Education Agency), and 2) completion of Attestation and FERPA forms.
