Online Special Education Admissions

The following admissions requirements apply to all online Special Education Intervention Specialist degrees.

Admissions Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited U.S. college or university or equivalent
  • Official Transcripts showing bachelor's degree GPA of 3.0 or higher.
  • Three letters of recommendation written by faculty or professionals who can speak about your abilities
  • Resume or Curriculum Vitae that describes your previous education, work, teaching, and experience
  • Personal Statement (approximately 1-2 pages) addressing personal and professional reasons for seeking the degree
  • English Proficiency: Please review information about 51ยายืโ€™s English Language Proficiency requirements.

We review all applications holistically so an applicant who does not perfectly meet all of the listed requirements may receive whatโ€™s called conditional admission. Conditional admission means that the applicant must remedy the shortcoming within a defined period of time or they must leave the program. Also, be aware that background checks are required as part of the journey to becoming a teacher.

  • Application Deadlines

    The Online Intervention Specialist programs admit for summer and fall semesters.

    For full consideration, please apply by the priority application deadline of:

    April 1 for summer term and August 4 for fall semester

    Students who intend to pursue the Patton College Teaching Fellows graduate assistantship, must apply to begin your studies during the summer semester (not fall).
