.........NOTE: You must achieve and maintain a grade point average of 3.0 or higher to be
........admitted into your junior and senior block advanced professional studies courses.

Admission Requirements
Applicants must possess a baccalaureate degree and be certified to teach. Individuals who hold a bachelor’s degree in another field and seek admission may wish to satisfy technology education teacher certification requirements. Selected graduate courses may be credited toward both certification and the master’s degree in technology education. See the department chairperson for further information.

Teachers who are not certified in technology education and are interested in integrating technology into their curriculum may seek probationary admission to the master’s program in technology education. These teachers will be considered for regular admission upon the completion of the following undergraduate laboratory courses: ITEC 110: Communications Systems; ITEC 120: Energy, Power and Transportation Systems; and ITEC 130: Production Materials and Processes. It should be noted that this process will not enable teacher certification in technology education.

Admission to the M.Ed. program in technology education is granted after a favorable review of application materials. A minimum undergraduate cumulative average of 2.75 and Miller Analogies Test score of 383 or Graduate Record Examination average score of 450 for the verbal, and quantitative components and a 3.5 for the analytical writing component of the test are required. Probationary admission may be granted at the discretion of the department.

Degree Requirements
Each student is required to complete the professional core, technology education core and one of two research options. Under the thesis option, a thesis must be satisfactorily completed as part of a minimum of 30 s.h. of approved graduate study. The applied research option requires satisfactory completion of EDTE 698: Research and Development in Technical Areas as part of 36 s.h. of approved graduate courses. Technology education and approved courses in related disciplines are elected to complete the semester hour requirements.

The graduate program coordinator serves as the program adviser for all graduate students pursuing a master’s degree. Master’s degree candidates who elect the thesis option will be assigned to a thesis adviser. This adviser and at least two additional graduate faculty will comprise the thesis research committee.

Dr. Tom Bell is the coordinator for the Technology Education Programs. If you have any questions, please feel free to email Dr. Bell at Tom.Bell@Millersville.edu.
