• Attend a mandatory Admission Meeting as posted by the Education Department.  An admission meeting is scheduled each semester.
• Beginning Fall Semester 2003, thirty students per year will be selected through a competitive admission process.  The selection process will involve a point system based upon the following criteria:
  1. College GPA for at least 30 credits, minimum 2.75 required
  2. Minimum grade of "B" in ENGL 111 and CMST 191 or their transfer equivalents
  3. Minimum grade of "C" in Math 100 or the transfer equivalent
  4. Pass the Education Department Writing Clearance
  5. Response to a 2-3 page essay
  6. Evidence of completion of Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPST)

The WSU-Rochester education program offers courses on a yearly cycle that begins each Fall Semester.  Therefore students are encouraged to attend an admission meeting in fall prior to the year that they plan to begin the education program.  The competitive admission process will be explained at the admission meeting.
