I just graduated from KUs Teacher Education program. Can I get into the masters cohort program?
Although most students in the masters program have at least a few years’ teaching experience, we welcome students directly out of KU’s teacher education program. All 15 graduate hours included in the professional year program will count toward a 36 hour master’s degree. Students would need to take an additional 24 hours of administration courses (generally the courses from the first year of the program) and complete a master’s project or an exam over the coursework. However, in order to be licensed as a building-level administrator, you will need to complete all courses in the master’s licensure program (an additional 5 courses) and have 3 years’ teaching experience.
