Pre-Service

Pre-service
Fortune School of Education seeks students who demonstrate academic excellence and potential for careers in education. While committed to equity and diversity, we maintain a selective admissions process. The admissions committee evaluates applicants based on academic performance, interview results, work experience, and preparation in the chosen field of study.
 
Applicants must submit an application, fee, curriculum vitae or resume, transcripts, recommendations, and other materials as specified on our website and in the Catalog. After screening, selected candidates will be invited to interview with a faculty panel. Successful candidates are then offered enrollment.
 
Eligibility criteria and admission requirements vary by program and can be found online and in the Catalog.
