Master of Education and Science Degrees
The Faculty and Administration of the College of Education & Health Professions no longer require the GRE for Graduate admissions. Instead, students will be required to have a minimum undergraduate coursework GPA as determined by the individual program to which they are applying. For students who do not meet the minimum GPA requirements set by the program to which they are applying, the GRE will be required for graduate admissions. All Graduate admissions documents (recommendation letters, essays, and other required graduation materials) need to be directed to gradadmissions@uhv.edu.
When advancing your career in instruction, as a leader in education or preparing for a career in professional counseling in a variety of educational and community settings; our Master of Education and Science (M.Ed. & M.S.) degrees are designed to meet your needs.
