Select your program from the College of Education and Human Development's CEHD Academic Program List. Admissions requirements differ by program. Please confirm your program's requirements at CEHD Program Requirements. This sheet will be used to assist you in filling out your online application. The first column is the concentration and the second column is the program of study. Most applicants will choose "Curriculum and Instruction" as the program of study and then choose a more specific program as the concentration. Per GMU policy, a bachelor's degree or greater from a regionally accredited institution is required prior to admission to a graduate program. Check the list of accredited organizations.
If you are an applicant with international credentials, please consult the Information for International Applicants
Before beginning your online application, please check out the helpful hints. (Be sure to click Graduate Hints on the sidebar of this site too.) The application can be accessed from that site or directly at this link - Apply Online!
A few days after your online application has been submitted, you will receive an acknowledging e-mail containing your Mason G number (G#). This is a system generated number that is provided to all applicants. When you submit your supporting documentation, please include your G# along with your full name, web application login ID and date of birth. This information will allow us to attach your supporting documentation to your completed application in a timely manner.
Sending in all your supporting documentation in one envelope ensures ease in processing your application. If you are unable to send all documents at one time please be aware that they (usually transcripts) may arrive under a previous name. It is your responsibility to notify us (gseadmit@gmu.edu) when you think this has occurred. If you have attended Mason previously under a different name, the computer system will submit your application to us under that name and not your new name. Again, it is your responsibility to contact us (gseadmit@gmu.edu) so we can get you the paperwork to have this changed.
