Doctor of Education in Lifelong Learning and Adult Education

Entry requirements for 賓州大學大學公園校區

Applicants with a junior/senior grade point average (GPA) of 3.00 or above (on a 4.00 scale), and a graduate GPA of 3.50 or above will be highly considered applicants for the program. Applicants with strong backgrounds and abilities in areas of particular interest or relevance to adult education practice may be admitted to either of the doctoral programs with a baccalaureate degree only (provided the junior/senior GPA is at least 2.70), or with masters level studies in which the graduate GPA is at least 3.20.

The D.Ed. requires either the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores, or the Miller Analogies Test (MAT) scores. Scores must not be more than 5 years old. If applicants choose the GRE, we require the General GRE test. Applicants facing critical, extenuating circumstances outside of their control may request a GRE or MAT waiver. Factors such as scheduling conflicts or performance in a prior degree program are not considered sufficient grounds for a waiver.
Resume or curriculum vitae.

A writing sample such as a published article, master's paper, master's thesis, or a paper from your master studies. This paper must be between 10-100 pages long.

A statement of purpose describing your short- and long-range career objectives and explaining how your proposed study of adult education relates to those objectives. Applicants should also describe their research interests and specify how these interests fit with the program and its faculty. The statement of purpose is especially important for assessing applicants’ fit with the Lifelong Learning and Adult Education Program.

Letters of recommendation from two people who are best qualified to evaluate your ability to succeed in graduate study.
All international applicants must take and submit scores for the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or the IELTS (International English Language Testing System), with the exceptions noted below. The minimum acceptable score for the TOEFL is 550 for the paper-based test, 213 for the computer-based test, or a total score of 80 with a 19 on the speaking section for the Internet-based test (iBT). Applicants with iBT speaking scores between 15 and 18 may be considered for provisional admission, with Graduate School approval, which requires an institutional test of English proficiency upon the first semester of enrollment and, if necessary, remedial course work. The minimum composite score for the IELTS is 6.5.
