NES Test

Students choosing to demonstrate content knowledge via NES test score must pass the NES test(s) associated with their endorsement(s) with a minimum score of 220. Score reports for all attempts must be shared with K1ÌåÓý to be documented. If, after two attempts, you have not met the 220 minimum score, please inform the Graduate Student Recruitment Coordinator who will work with you to identify the best path forward to demonstrate content knowledge.

Non-NES Content Knowledge Demonstration

Applicants will indicate in the online application if they choose to demonstrate their content knowledge through a Non-NES avenue. All Non-NES Content Knowledge Demonstrations will be reviewed by faculty and are subject to approval. In the case that a Non-NES Content Knowledge Demonstration is not approved by faculty, students can either demonstrate content knowledge through a satisfactory score on the appropriate NES exam or work with faculty to determine an alternate avenue for demonstrating content knowledge.

Applicants choosing to demonstrate their content knowledge through an avenue other than an NES test must meet all below requirements:

1. Hold an undergraduate or graduate degree in an acceptable field (indicated in below table)* from an accredited institution of higher education
2. Pass (grade of C or above) the required classes (indicated in below table) in the major, maintaining a major GPA of 3.0 or higher. 
3. Pass (grade of C or above) a minimum of 30 semester hours or 45 quarter hours of classes in the major that are not at remedial level (this can include classes indicated in below table)
4. Have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher upon graduation (includes all classes taken in the degree)

*Please contact the Graduate Recruitment Coordinator if you have an undergraduate or graduate degree that is not listed but you feel aligns to your desired endorsement area
