What are your reasons for applying to Georgia State's Educational Leadership program?
One major part of the Educational Leadership program is logging 250 hours of clinical leadership experience. This requires you to participate in leadership experiences in your school and/or district. You will be responsible for working with a mentor to identify and participate in these experiences. Describe how you will be able to complete those hours.
Identify a mentor who currently holds leadership certification in Georgia and complete the following mentor agreement form. (If you are out of state and/or only seeking the degree and no Georgia leadership certification, your mentor does not need to be Georgia-certified but does need to be in a current school/district leadership position.) Once the mentor agreement form has been completed by both parties, upload the signed agreement to your application under the MISC documents section.
Two Letters of Recommendation (one must be a school leader who supervises/evaluates you, enter the name and email addresses of your recommenders on your application)
A minimum of three years experience in a Pk-12 school setting (upload teaching certificate to application), currently working in a Pk-12 educational setting
Official Transcript(s): minimum 2.5 undergraduate GPA required for admission

TOEFL scores should be submitted using school code 5251 and IETLS scores can be submitted by selecting Georgia State University Graduate Admissions. Applicants must submit a minimum TOEFL score of 79 or a minimum IETLS score of 6.5 for graduate admission. Applicants who completed a degree within the United States, will not be required to take the English proficiency exam. For additional questions regarding international credentials, please contact your college admission advisor directly.
