Admissions Requirements for Educational Leadership

To be granted admission to a graduate program in Educational Leadership, the student must first be admitted to the Graduate School at Eastern Illinois University.  Thus, a student seeking admission should contact the Graduate School at (217)581-2220 for a graduate application form and a graduate catalog.

The Graduate School requires that the student must have obtained a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited four-year college or university, must have achieved a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.75 on a 4.0 scale for that degree, and must complete other requirements as specified by the department.

A student achieving a 3.00 GPA on the last 60 hours of graded academic work may substitute that criterion for the requirement of achieving an overall 3.00 GPA.  Course work taken as a post-baccalaureate student may be considered in the computation of the GPA.

Students who do not meet the requirement for full admission may be granted provisional admission upon recommendation by the department.

International students must, in addition, score at least 550 on the TOEFL.  Students with scores below 550 may be admitted provisionally upon enrolling in the English Language Center.

Once the student is admitted to the Graduate School, the student's records are forwarded to the designated department (Educational Leadership).  Members of the department review the student's records.  Upon admission, the student is assigned an advisor and a study plan is developed.
