Admission to Graduate School
A. Apply through the Office of Graduate Admissions in Holden Hall for "General Admission" to the Graduate School or online at http://www.depts.ttu.edu/gradschool. Read the Graduate Catalog of the University for admission requirements. A Bachelor's Degree from Texas Tech University or any other university does not guarantee admission to the master's program.
B. Complete the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Applications may be obtained from the Testing and Evaluation Center in West Hall on the campus or other authorized testing centers. Students may enroll as a "Graduate Temporary" graduate student for one semester while awaiting the test results.
The College of Education (COE) has established a holistic approach to the admission process. If a student does not gain full admission within one semester, he or she will not be permitted to register for the second semester.
C. Complete Master's degree application process by submitting recommendation forms and applicant statement which are located at the back of this handbook.
When these three steps have been met successfully, the Graduate Dean will send a letter granting admission to graduate study toward the master's degree in education. The Special Education program faculty will review student's application. The student should then meet with a special education program advisor in the area of interest to complete a degree plan.
