SPECIFICS OF THE INITIAL ADOLESCENCE & SWD Generalist, M.Ed. DEGREE
Minimum Total Hours: 45
Minimum Requirements: Overall and major GPA of 3.0 with no grade less than B-.
Transfer Policy:
Master of Education program applicants may request that the college accept graduate courses from other institutions for transfer credit. The following conditions apply to such requests:
- Courses must have been taken within five years of the date of application to the Roberts M.Ed. degree program.
- A formal course description (for example, from a course catalog or course syllabus) must be provided for each course that the applicant wishes Roberts to consider. The Program Advisor and the Director will compare the course description with that of similar courses in the Roberts M.Ed. program to determine equivalence. The course description will also be presented to the Registrar’s office as evidence of equivalence, just as an official transcript is presented as evidence of success course completion.
- More than 12-hour limit may be granted in unusual cases after review of the Program Advisor, the Program Director, and the Department Chair. Examples of possible exceptions are students transferring into a program from another Roberts program (such as an Initial Adolescence or Transition B Adolescence graduate seeking further study and certification in Special Education). The percentage of courses accepted for credit will be limited to 50% (NOTE: this is consistent with practice at the undergraduate level when a 2-year student is accepted as a junior, representing a 50% transfer of credit).
