The Advising Process

We're With You All the Way

Academic advisors in graduate studies are available to assist you in the application and registration process, and guide you through the initial phase of choosing courses that are specific to both non-licensure and licensure concentrations. Advising sessions are available at both the Milton and Plymouth campuses.

New graduate students are required to meet with the M.Ed. Director and/or one of the Coordinators for a formal interview prior to admission into the program. Details on the application process are outlined below. Group advising sessions are offered each semester, providing you with the opportunity to ask questions regarding appropriate choices, coursework, scheduling and licensing requirements.

As you prepare for the MTEL Subject Test(s), our Field Experience Coordinator will advise you regarding your Practicum Seminar, your teaching placements, and licensure requirements for specific concentrations of graduate study. Beyond basic advising, the M.Ed. Director and Coordinators assist those students with more complex questions regarding their fields of study. In addition, faculty in the M.Ed. program are actively involved in their fields and have a wealth of practical and theoretical information; they also serve as resources to students. Students who seek a professional license or who have a special situation are encouraged to speak with college advisors, but will in many cases be required to communicate with and apply to the Department of Education directly.
