For additional information about the application process, please visit our FAQ page. A printable version of the application instructions (398KB pdf) is also available.
Please note that interviews are only a part of the Ed.L.D. admissions process at HGSE, and will take place from March 1-2, 2012; there are no interviews for the Ed.D. or Ed.M. degree programs. Also, several programs have additional application requirements.
It is not possible to apply to multiple degree programs for the same academic year.
You must submit all of your required documents online except for your academic transcripts. We prefer that you collect all of your academic transcripts (each individual transcript should issued by the institution in a sealed envelope that bears an official signature, stamp, or seal) and place them together in one envelope before sending them to the Admissions Office.
When filling out the application, please enter your academic history as early as possible, so that we are able to match incoming transcripts to the schools you have entered. Once you have submitted your application, you will be able to view which transcripts the admissions office has received.
If you have unofficial, electronic copies of your academic transcripts, we encourage you to upload them into the Education section of your online application in order to facilitate online committee review. Please note that all applicants are still required to mail official transcripts to the Admissions Office.
After you enter the contact information for your three recommenders on your application, we will send each of them an email with instructions about logging onto our system. At that time, they will have the opportunity to fill out the Recommendation Form and upload a recommendation letter. Recommendations must be submitted online.
