Students pursuing graduate studies in the CSIEME program focus on building both theoretical understanding and hands-on skills related to cultural, international, and multicultural aspects of educational practice. Their work encompasses diverse areas such as student learning research, teaching methods, curriculum creation and execution, reciprocal teaching-learning dynamics, educational measurement, media and visual arts, contemporary culture, reading/writing skills, digital literacy, textual analysis, local/global contexts, and fairness in education concerning both personal and societal development. This specialization demands active student involvement with matters of diversity including race, ethnicity, national origin, language, social class, gender identity, family structure, ability status, age, and belief systems as they appear in educational settings. Scholars in this field must gain thorough knowledge of various analytical perspectives, including critical theories, post-positivist approaches, constructivist models, and postmodern thought.
The CSIEME program combines three interconnected academic disciplines that foster cross-disciplinary and decolonial research and teaching methodologies.
At its foundation lies Multicultural Education, which employs critical teaching philosophies as tools for societal improvement by advancing democratic ideals of equitable justice.
By implementing critical educational approaches centered on knowledge acquisition, thoughtful consideration, and practical application, Multicultural Education actively embraces and supports - through fundamental changes in human relationships, academic content, and teaching techniques - the diverse backgrounds represented by learners, their support networks, and educational professionals.

Qualification Requirements
For post-bachelor's applicants, a regionally accredited bachelor degree from a program in an area closely related to the chosen field of specialization is required.
For post-master's applicants, prior to the admission start date, a master degree from a regionally accredited program in an area closely related to the chosen field of specialization is required.
Grade Point Average - You must have a minimum overall grade point average of 2.75 (4.00=A) for the bachelor's degree or a minimum 3.00 (4.00=A) for the last two years (60 semester hours). Applicants with international academic work can use Scholaro to estimate their U.S. GPA calculation. While Scholaro can provide an approximate representation of your converted U.S. GPA, it does not replace the comprehensive evaluation of academic coursework conducted by the UNLV Office of Admissions. Our GPA calculation and credential equivalency review are still essential in the admission process. UNLV's evaluation may differ from the results generated by this tool.
Transcripts - One transcript from every post-secondary institution the applicant has attended (regardless of whether a degree or credential was earned), showing all coursework, extension and correspondence work, any degrees earned, and the dates that those degrees were awarded. Unofficial transcripts will be accepted as part of the application process. However, if an applicant is admitted, official transcripts will be required by the date specified on the Certificate of Admission. Transfer credits posted on another institution's transcript will not be accepted in lieu of the transcript itself. Only transcripts sent directly from the institution are considered official. Failure to disclose all coursework and/or degrees awarded will result in rescission of admission. IELTS - 6.5, TOEFL - 80, (Paper-based) Minimum score - 74 (Computer-based) Minimum score - 213, Pearson Test of English (PTE) - Minimum score - 65
