MIC Applications are due by February 1.  The program is competitive so it is important to keep your GPA up and score well on your GRE!  If you have questions or problems when applying for the MIC program, please contact your content area.

Graduate School Admission

You must be admitted by the UK Graduate School (GS) before the College of Education can formally admit you to the MIC Program.  These are two separate admissions processes.  Please consult with the Graduate School Office of Admissions regarding your status with them.  If necessary, update/correct your application using the following codes for the MIC program:

• Program Code:  ESED
• Degree:  Master of Arts (Not "5th year" or "certification")

   

Please make sure you have applied to the Graduate School for admission in the appropriate semester, as follows:

• If you seek to take courses in the 2010 1st Summer session, you should ensure that your GS application is for the 2010 Summer 1 term.
• If you seek to take courses in the 2010 2nd Summer Session, you should ensure that your GS application is for the Summer 2 term.
• If you seek to take courses in the 2010 Fall Session, you should ensure that your GS application is for the 2010 Fall term. 

If you do not take courses during the semester for which you have applied, or if you do not qualify for admission to the semester for which you have applied, you are responsible for updating your Graduate School admission status to the semester in which you begin classes.  The Graduate School may assess a fee each time you request an application update.  If you need advising, please contact Dr. Groth for an appointment.

If you were notified that you must re-take portions of the GRE in order to qualify for Graduate School admission, please re-take those exams as soon as possible so we can obtain your scores and complete your file.  Pending completion of GRE requirements of 150 verbal, Quantitative 143, and 4.0 Analytic Writing  forrUGPA of 2.75 admission, you will become eligible for the MIC, and we will admit you as soon as possible.

Any course taken for this program must have a "letter" grade.

Issues Related to "Post-Baccalaureate" Status:
If you applied to the UK GS as a "post-baccalaureate" student in order to complete pre-requisite courses during the summer of  2010 terms, you will not be eligible for MIC admission until August 2010.  It is your responsibility to monitor your admission status and communicate with Dr. Groth for advising as needed.  When you have completed your pre-requisites, you must update your Graduate School status from "Post-Baccalaureate" to the MIC program.  See the codes listed above for making this update.

If you are a post-baccalaureate student and would like to discuss the possibility of completing MIC elective courses this summer, please contact Dr. Groth for an appointment.

Advice for Completing MIC Graduate Electives:
Students admitted to the MIC Secondary Education Program must complete nine (9) credit hours of graduate-level elective course work.  These electives may be completed in your content area or in  Education. 

Students are strongly advised to complete all nine graduate elective credits during the summer PRIOR to Fall 2010 and the formal start of the MIC program.  However, they are not required to do so.  If you choose to take electives later in your program, you are advised to complete two elective courses during the summer prior, and one elective course during the fall term.  If you choose, you may complete electives during the summer that follows student teaching (summer 2011).  In such cases, students will be advised that their degrees and certification will not be completed until August 2011.  Late completion may affect your qualification for professional teaching jobs.  Students are strongly advised to avoid taking elective courses during Spring 2011 when they are student teaching full time.
