1.
What are the admission requirements for graduate studies at Converse?
Each program has a separate set of requirements. Look in the “Procedure
for Applying” section of each program. Students interested in the Master of Music should apply directly to the Petrie School of Music.
2. Is it possible to complete a graduate degree on a part-time basis?
Most of our graduate students work full-time, either as teachers or administrators in a school system or for a local business or industry. Classes are available in the late afternoon and evening. There are also three summer sessions.
3.
Can I be certified to teach and receive my master’s degree at the same time?
If you hold a baccalaureate degree in a field other than education and wish to be a teacher, you can earn a South Carolina teacher certificate while obtaining an MAT. You can select one of the following initial certification programs:
- early childhood
- elementary education
- mental disabilities
- learning disabilities
- or secondary education (biology, chemistry, English, mathematics and social sciences).
4. What is the Master of Liberal Arts?
People choose this program for both personal and professional enrichment and growth. You may choose a concentration in
- English
- history
- or political science.
5. What can an Educational Specialist degree do for me?
The programs in administration and supervision, and curriculum and instruction, prepare certified teachers to become leaders in their schools or districts. A master’s degree is required for entry to both programs. The program in marriage and family therapy meets the academic and clinical requirements for the American Assn of Marriage and Family Therapy, and prepares you to sit for licensure as a marriage and family therapist in South
Carolina.
