M.Ed. Admission Requirements

Application Process

Candidates must apply and be accepted by Miami University's Graduate School and the Department of Educational Leadership. The Graduate School requires an applicant to have a minimum cumulative G.P.A. of 2.75. Additional requirements pertinent to international applicants, including English proficiency and immigration documentation are detailed on the Graduate School's International Application webpage.

Submit an electronic Graduate School application, including:

• Transcripts from the school you obtained your undergraduate degree from and any other college or university at which you have done graduate work.
• Name and email address for two letters of reference, one from a current supervisor.
• A 1-2 page essay on why you are interested in this degree.

Tuition and Costs

Our program has a long tradition and a continued commitment to providing an educational experience that is rich in diversity. One of the ways we maintain that commitment is by offering the program at a price that does not charge more to students who come from states and countries beyond Ohio, U.S.A.

The program maintains a flat-rate, competitive tuition without regard for a student's residency.  Out-of-state and international students save nearly 50% of the cost for tuition and fees of most other graduate programs at Miami University! Tuition and fees details:

• Tuition: $650 per credit hour for all new resident and non-resident students.
• Total: $19,500 for 30 credits required to earn our master's degree.

NOTE: Fees are estimates and are subject to change. For additional information on tuition and fees, please visit the One Stop site.

Dates and Deadlines

Applications to the M.Ed. program should be submitted for the fall semester by May 1 and October 1 for spring term consideration.

Applications are reviewed for admission consideration as they are completed. Notification of admission is provided by the Graduate School within a week of the review. 

Additional Financial Assistance

Miami University strives to help students afford a graduate education. The Department of Educational Psychology's commitment to setting a significantly discounted tuition rate for our program precludes our students from some additional tuition waiver award eligibility. However, there may be other opportunities provided by the Graduate School for qualifying new and current students. The Office of Research and Innovation may also be explored for locating outside funding resources. Our department will also attempt to fund students with additional scholarship dollars when available.

For additional information on financial aid guidelines and eligibility, please contact the One Stop office at OneStop@MiamiOH.edu or by telephone at 513-529-0001.
