Admission

This program requires full-time teaching experience. To apply for admission, please submit:

• An application for admission to graduate study and a $25 application fee. (The College waives the fee for Elmhurst alumni and for online applications.)
• Recommendations from three educators who can attest to your leadership qualities, communication skills, personal motivation, and capacity to succeed in graduate study.
• A 1,000-word statement of purpose describing your personal and professional goals and how graduate study at Elmhurst College will help you achieve those goals.
• Official transcripts from all undergraduate and graduate institutions you have attended. (Elmhurst College alumni do not need to request a copy of their Elmhurst transcripts.)
• Students may apply to this program for the Fall, Spring, and Summer Terms.

After our initial review of your application materials is completed, program faculty will request an interview with you. 

Students from outside the United States must also submit the following:

• An official evaluation in English by a foreign credentials agency of all university transcripts (along with copies of the transcripts themselves).
• Proof of English proficiency, as evidenced by a minimum score of 550 on the paper-based Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or a minimum score of 213 on the computer-based TOEFL.
