Educational Administration (EDD)

Contact your previous institution(s) and request that they send your official transcripts to [email protected].

• We recommend that you request transcripts for all of your academic work.

All international transcripts must be evaluated and the evaluation submitted to the Graduate School.

We accepts evaluations sent directly from the following Agencies.

• If a normal evaluation is submitted, official original transcripts with all marksheets will still need to be submitted.
• If a WES ICAP or equivalent is submitted, we will not need the official transcripts to be submitted separately.

You must hold one of the following GPA requirements to be considered for doctoral admission:

• an overall undergraduate 2.75 GPA,

• a 3.00 GPA on the last 60 hours of undergraduate degree or
• a 3.40 GPA on the master’s degree and work beyond the master’s level.

Submit the Statement of Goals Form found in the Application Packet. An additional page can be added.

Submit a resume or curriculum vitae (CV) which includes your academic and professional history and achievements.

Request two signed letters of recommendation, on letterhead, from professionals who can attest to your goals and ability to succeed in the program. Those individuals should:

• Email the letter to [email protected] or
• Send the letter to you. Then, you will utilize the upload system: myLeo > Apps > Check Admissions Application Status & Test Scores

One or both of the references should hold a doctoral degree.
