Admission Process
The minimum requirements for admission to the graduate programs in the Division of Education and Leadership (DEL) at Shenandoah University are those listed under the requirements for Standard or Provisional Acceptance in the Admissions Guidelines section of this catalog. For DEL graduate programs that require submission of a teaching license, the minimum qualification for admission is a copy of the applicant’s current Virginia teaching license. In approved circumstances, a license can be accepted in lieu of transcripts because of the State of Virginia’s requirements for licensure.
Conditional Acceptance is not offered by the Division of Education and Leadership.
Please consult the Admissions Guidelines section of this catalog.
