Admission Requirements

Admission requirements would be consistent with the requirements for graduate admission to the Florida State University and the College of Education. Applicants would be expected to hold a 3.0 upper-division baccalaureate grade point average and provide a combined score of 1000 or better on the verbal and quantitative aptitude portions of Graduate Record Exam, with neither individual section score less than 400. International applicants must also provide evidence of a passing TOEFL score: 80 on the internet-based test and 550 on the paper-based version. In addition, an applicant must take and pass the General Knowledge portion of the Florida Teacher Certification exam if he or she does not earn 1000 on the combined GRE or enters the program without an active Florida Professional Certificate (educator’s license). Upon graduation/certification, students will be required to provide passing scores on the relevant subject-area portion of the FTCE if already holding a Professional Certificate, or all three portions (to include subject area and professional knowledge) of the FTCE in order to be certified.

Native English-speaking (US domestic) applicants shall hold an earned baccalaureate degree with a major field in a language discipline offered by the Department of Modern Languages & Linguistics or be able to pass the FTCE subject area test. International applicants (with a native language other than English) shall be admitted on the basis of their proficiency in the native language as long as that language is offered by the Department of Modern Languages.
