Having an undergraduate degree with coursework in tests and measurements and educational psychology or their equivalents is a program pre-requisite that must be satisfied prior to initial registration.
(College code: 5142). Applicants who have not taken the GRE within the past five (5) years should contact the Educational Testing Service at www.gre.org or 1-800-257-5123, take the test, and submit the scores.
Applicants must have an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.00 if they do not have a score of at least 1000 on a GRE taken within 5 years preceding application to the program.
Request letter(s) from school(s) to document at least three years of educational experience.
Acceptance may be granted to applicants who graduate from regionally accredited institutions, who meet the minimum academic criteria, and who have at least three years of successful teaching or administrative experience in a school setting. More info...
Applicants who have graduated from colleges that are not regionally accredited, or who fail to meet the minimum GPA and GRE standards, or do not have at least three years of successful teaching or administration may be accepted provisionally. Students accepted on a provisional basis will be required to complete 12 graduate semester hours of course work at Clearwater Christian College with a GPA of at least 3.00 in order to continue in the program.
Transfer Students
Transfer students may transfer up to 6 graduate credit hours into their program at Clearwater Christian College. All transfer courses must have at least a grade of B and are subject to approval by the Registrar.
International Student Admission
International students are encouraged to consider our program in Educational Leadership. More info...
Due to the nature of our program (instruction through distance learning) and current INS regulations, the College cannot issue the typical I-20 Application for F-1 Student Visa. International students living in the United States or abroad must obtain an appropriate visa that will allow them to enter and stay legally for the duration of face-to-face course sessions. If English is not the international student applicant's primary language, TOEFL results of at least 600 on the written exam or 250 on the computer based exam are required.
Dual Enrollment
Undergraduate students enrolled in Clearwater Christian College may enroll in master's level courses in a semester in which they have nine or fewer undergraduate hours remaining. Students may earn a maximum of six hours under this enrollment status.
Non-Degree Students
Non-degree students may take no more than two classes by audit or for credit. Non-degree seeking students are required to meet the same requirements for admission as degree-seeking students.
Re-admission
Once accepted, it is hoped that the students will maintain continuous enrollment until the completion of their program requirements. Students who fail to matriculate within one year of the intended initial term of enrollment, whose enrollment was interrupted for a period of one year or more, who do not complete program requirements within six years of commencement, or who were released from the program for any reason are required to re-apply.
As a former teacher and a stay-at-home mom, I am attracted to Clearwater's online degree in educational leadership. It will allow me to continue my education with the flexibility of online courses while still receiving the high-quality, Christ-centered education that I expect from Clearwater Christian. Although my primary ministry is to my children, I can prepare myself for whatever ministry God will allow me to have in the future.
