Frequently asked questions:

What is the deadline for the application material? You need to go online and complete the Graduate Office Application and pay the fee.  They will then put you in the system and you will be ready to enroll.  You have one semester to request and get all transcripts to the Grad. Office.  As for the rest of the items listed, you have one semester to complete and submit.. 

What is the deadline to take the MAT test?  You should complete this within a semester as stated above.  There is no cut score, simply do your best. 

Can I take the MAT test where I live?  Yes, call the nearest college and ask for the Test Assessment Center and sign up.  When you complete pre-test paperwork, you will be asked to put in a code for colleges you want the scores sent to.  You will look up ESU in the appendix provided and enter the code.

When would I need to enroll in classes?  As stated above ASAP when enrollment opens.  We begin Spring enrollment on Oct. 10th...Summer enrollment is usually the second week of March and fall is the fourth week of March.  Again, classes fill within one to three days of enrollment.

I am planning on taking 6 credit hours.  Is there a sequence that I must follow regarding the courses?-or-Are some classes pre-req's for another class? (Other than the internship classes.) No Cohorts, no sequence.  The practicum is the last year of the program.  You can take classes as needed or available.
