Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
Admission to graduate study at Oakland University is selective. In making admission recommendations to Graduate Study and Lifelong Learning, each department assesses the potential of applicants for success in the program by examining their undergraduate records, goal statement, letters of recommendation, prerequisite courses and any other admission requirements established by the academic department.
The department considers only those applicants who hold baccalaureate degrees from regionally-accredited institutions. While an undergraduate grade-point average of at least 3.0 is the minimum standard for admission, other factors bearing on potential academic success are given due consideration.
The Master of Arts in Teaching in reading and language arts degree is awarded upon satisfactory completion of 32 credits in an approved program of study. If the two-course option, in lieu of RDG 699 (Master\xc2\x92s Practicum), is selected, the program requires 36 credits.
