Graduate Program: Prospective Students
Domestic Applicants
International Applicants
Domestic Applicants
M.S. Domestic
Applicants
All applicants should use the web-based
application form provided by The Graduate School (http:info.gradsch.wisc.edu/admin/admissions/appinstr.html).
Official transcripts should be sent in duplicate to
the Curriculum & Instruction Graduate Program Office,
225 N MILLS ST, MADISON WI 53706-1795, USA, and so should
any additional documentation required by the Department
of Curriculum
and Instruction and described below. Letters of recommendation may be sent to this address, but letter writers may find it faster and more convenient to submit their recommendations electronically. For instructions on requesting electronically submitted letters of recommendation, go to http://info.gradsch.wisc.edu/admin/admissions/elorinstructions.html.
Expected Background in Professional Education
Except for students entering programs
that combine a master's degree with teacher certification
(an option not regularly available), all applicants
for admission to graduate study are expected to have
completed at least 12 credits in professional education
courses. Equivalent courses taught outside a school
of education are permissible, so long as an express
focus on professional education is evident. At least
6 credits must be in social science foundations of
education (e.g., educational anthropology, educational
sociology, human development, human learning). Applicants
lacking this background may be admitted with deficiencies,
which means they will be required to take a specified
number of credits in the areas of deficiency, in addition
to the course work ordinarily required in the graduate
program. Applicants to an area of study in a high school
teaching field must have completed an acceptable undergraduate
teaching major (or its equivalent) in that field.

Ph.D.
Domestic Applicants
All applicants should use the web-based
application form provided by The Graduate School (info.gradsch.wisc.edu/admin/admissions/appinstr.html).
Official transcripts should be sent in duplicate to
the Curriculum & Instruction Graduate Program Office,
225 N MILLS ST, MADISON WI 53706-1795, USA., and so should
any additional documentation required by the Department
of Curriculum
and Instruction and described below. Letters of recommendation may be sent to this address, but letter writers may find it faster and more convenient to submit their recommendations electronically. For instructions on requesting electronically submitted letters of recommendation, go to http://info.gradsch.wisc.edu/admin/admissions/elorinstructions.html.
All Ph.D. applicants (regardless of undergraduate
grade-point average) are required to supplement their
application with the items enumerated below.
- Graduate Record Exam (GRE) general test. Ph.D.
applicants should have an official report
of their Graduate Record
Exam (GRE) general test scores sent electronically
from the Educational Testing Service (ETS)
to UW-Madison (institution
code: 1846).
- Evidence of writing ability. Ph.D. applicants
are required to provide evidence of their
writing ability by sending a writing sample (master's
thesis,
academic
paper from a graduate course, a journal
article,
or any other writing which the applicant
believes can
be used
to judge writing ability) directly
to the Curriculum and Instruction Graduate Program Office.
- Three letters that include appraisal of academic
competence. Ph.D. applicants are
required to have three letters of reference assessing
their
academic
and professional
competence. Letters of reference written
for teachers ordinarily include an
evaluation of their professional competence, and the
department
does consider
that information. However, the department
needs letters that also give a knowledgeable
appraisal of the applicant's
academic competence. A student's
former professors
are usually best able to provide
this, so the department
prefers letters from them. Writers of reference letters may send them directly to the Curriculum & Instruction Graduate Program Office; however, writers may find it faster and more convenient to submit their recommendations electronically. For instructions on requesting electronically submitted letters of recommendation, go to http://info.gradsch.wisc.edu/admin/admissions/elorinstructions.html.

International Applicants
TOEFL and Test of Written English:
Every applicant whose native language
is not English, or whose undergraduate instruction was
not in English, must provide official scores from the
Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the
Michigan English Language Assessment Battery (MELAB).
An admitted applicant whose TOEFL (paper-based) test
score is below 580; TOEFL computer-based test (CBT) score
below 237; or MELAB below 82 must take an English assessment
test upon arrival. You must then register for any recommended
English as a Second Language (ESL) course(s) in the first
semester you are enrolled.
Note: Department/Program requirements may be higher than
the minimum scores stated above.
All applicants should use the web-based
application form provided by The Graduate School (info.gradsch.wisc.edu/admin/admissions/appinstr.html).
Official transcripts should be sent in duplicate

The department has a long and successful
history of working with graduate students from around
the world. Qualified international students add to the
enrichment of the social and intellectual environment
for all faculty and students. The department requires
that each international applicant whose native language
is not English take the Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL) and the Test of Written English (TWE),
which are given through the Educational Testing Service
(ETS), Princeton, New Jersey. The department requires
TOEFL and TWE scores regardless of whether an applicant
has previously completed a degree at another university
in the United States. Applicants should have an official
report of their TOEFL and TWE scores sent electronically
from ETS to UW-Madison (institution code: 1846). Only
in exceptional circumstances is an applicant with a TOEFL
score lower than 580 (old scale) or 237 (new scale) likely
to be admitted.
