Admission Requirements for Fall 2009
Application InstructionsWe encourage you to use the online versions available for both the Graduate Division Application and the Departmental Application. If you are unable to apply online, please contact the GSE Admissions Office at (510) 642-0841.
Applicants must request that supporting documents such as transcripts and letters of recommendation be mailed to them in sealed envelopes. Applicants must forward completed application and all supporting materials by the application deadline for the program to which you are applying. Please include all materials in one envelope if possible. Incomplete application files will put applicants at a disadvantage in the admissions review process.
Please use our Application Checklist (pdf) to insure that you send in a complete application. (After submitting your application and with sufficient time for us to process it, check the Application Status page to see if any documents are missing.)
Send the following materials (except forms submitted online) to:
Graduate Assistant
Department of Education
University of California, Berkeley
1607 Tolman Hall
Berkeley, CA 94720-1670.
- Online Graduate Division Application for Admission and Fellowships:
- Including Statement of Purpose & Personal History Statement (May be submitted online under 'Personal Statements' section, or in hard copy along with your supplemental application materials). In addition, a resumé or chronological list of activities may be submitted.
- Doctoral applicants: Doctoral applicants may identify a School of Education faculty member whose research is of particular interest and whom you would like as an advisor. Please see our People page; the asterisk (*) indicates eligible faculty.
- Online Departmental Application for the Graduate School of Education. This application should be filled out and submitted after submission of the online Graduate Division application. Please note that the online GSE application is shorter than the paper version because it does not duplicate information contained in the Graduate Division application.
- GPA worksheet. Applicants must report their grade-point averages for all undergraduate courses taken after the first two years. Without a calculated GPA, an application will not be considered complete. There are two ways to calculate your GPA: 1) use our online GPA calculator to figure out your GPA automatically, and print the results, or 2) manually calculate your GPA using a PDF of the worksheet (you may prefer to use the latter if your grading system does not match ours).
- Application fee. The current fee is $60 for U.S. citizens or permanent residents, $80 for all others. The fee can be paid online during the submission of the Graduate Division Application, or by check or money order payable to UC Regents with other application materials sent to the Graduate School of Education.
- Two sets of official transcripts in sealed envelopes from all college-level institutions attended. Applicants are expected to have achieved at least a 3.0 grade-point average in all courses taken after the first two years as undergraduates and in all graduate-level courses.
- Three Letters of Recommendation. The use of the cover sheet for recommendations is preferred, but not required.
- Required Examinations. See the next section:Examinations.
