How to enroll

If you are seeking gifted certification through the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, it is recommended you apply directly to the gifted education certification program. The gifted education certification prep program is intended for students who do not need a full course load and are applying as post-baccalaureate students.

Important: If you take individual courses as a post-baccalaureate and plan to apply course credit toward the M Ed program, you must be accepted into the degree program before you finish 12 credit hours of coursework.

You will need to provide the Graduate School with an unofficial copy of your transcript as a part of the application process.
