Any licensed or license-eligible professional counselor or professional clinical counselor or any student in the community counseling master's program who wants school counselor licensure, but is not seeking admission to the master's degree in school counseling, must apply for admission to the school counseling licensure endorsement program. The application consists of an application form, official transcripts of graduate work in counseling, three letters of recommendation, and a personal statement clarifying the reasons the applicant wishes to become a licensed school counselor. There is no fee for the application; the application is submitted directly to the Department of Counselor Education and School Psychology. The applicant may be required to appear for an interview. Students must be admitted to the endorsement program before they will be permitted to enroll in the required 600 clock hour internship.

The master's degree in community counseling is a prerequisite for licensure as a professional counselor or professional clinical counselor in Ohio and other states and prepares students to work in mental health agencies, substance abuse agencies, private practice, and a wide variety of settings including hospitals, colleges, and the criminal justice system. The curriculum leading to the master's degree consists of 48 semester hours of training. Applicants seeking licensure as professional counselors or professional clinical counselors in Ohio need an additional 12 hours of graduate study beyond the 48 hours. Prospective applicants are urged to review information on the department web site at http://www.utoledo.edu/hshs/cesp/.

The graduate program in school psychology prepares students to become K-12 licensed school psychologists. The education specialist degree (Ed.S), leading to eligibility to take the State of Ohio Department of Education school psychology licensure exam, consists of three years of full-time study, which includes approximately 79 graduate semester hours of course work, a two-semester practicum experience during the second year, and a 9-month, full-time internship (minimum of 1200 clock hours) in a school setting completed during the third year. Students earn a master of arts (M.A.) after completing a minimum of 32 hours of coursework and 100 field experience hours or 120 hours for those without a teaching license. The Ed.S. is earned after completion of the remaining coursework and internship and is required for licensure as a school psychologist.
The application deadline for the school psychology program is January 15. To apply to the program, applicants must meet the minimum academic prerequisite and submit the following materials:

• Minimum academic prerequisite: Undergraduate GPA of 2.7 (for admission to the College of Graduate Studies) and for the school psychology program, a preferred undergraduate GPA of 3.0
• GRE scores (taken within the last five years) with a required minimum combined score (verbal plus quantitative) of 800 and a preferred combined score of 1000
• College of Graduate Studies application for the master's degree in school psychology
• Three letters of recommendation, at least one of which must address the applicant's academic potential (i.e. from a university faculty member)
• Statement of purpose, between two to three pages, that details the reasons the applicant would like to pursue a career in school psychology and includes personal experiences. The statement of purpose should be typed and submitted to the College of Graduate Studies
• Official undergraduate transcripts (and graduate transcripts, if applicable)
• Completion of an interview with a school psychologist
• Professional resum�

To be consistent with national training standards and to ensure sufficient faculty members to advise and mentor students, a limited number of applicants will be admitted into the program each year. As a result, admission is competitive. Applicants may be required to interview with an admissions committee.
The curriculum leading to the master's degree and education specialist degree in school psychology consists of the following:

The department of criminal justice offers a graduate program leading to a master of arts in criminal justice as well as an optional certificate in juvenile justice. In addition, the department of criminal justice and the College of Law offer a joint degree program leading to the master of arts in criminal justice and the juris doctor.

Master of Arts in Criminal Justice
The master of arts in criminal justice is designed to provide students with a broad understanding of the criminal justice system, social control and the nature of crime, in addition to developing and improving skills necessary to critically assess criminal justice problems and develop meaningful responses to these problems. The program also provides students with the skills to conduct applied research and evaluation, as well as the ability to understand empirical scholarly publications. The program allows students to develop a plan of study that will help prepare for leadership roles in the field of criminal justice and to pursue criminal justice doctoral studies. The program allows a person to be either a full-time or part-time student. A full-time student can complete the program in one year, while a part-time student should be able to complete the program in two or three years.

In addition to the College of Graduate Studies and College of Health Science and Human Service requirements, evaluation of applicants for the criminal justice graduate program is based on the following criteria: (a) application, (b) three letters of recommendation, (c) personal statement, (d) official transcripts with a grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.70 on a 4 point scale. Applicants with a GPA of less than 2.70 must take the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). Prospective students should contact the department for further information. Finally, meeting the minimum admission requirements does not guarantee entrance into the program. Admission is competitive and is dependent on the availability of space within the program. Under special circumstances, the department graduate admissions committee may choose to admit a promising applicant as a provisional student in the program.

The master of arts in criminal justice requires 33 semester hours. A student may elect to complete a thesis in lieu of 3 credit hours of elective course work. A student who does not complete a thesis must pass a comprehensive exam after earning 33 approved semester graduate credit hours. Although a student can earn all 33 semester credit hours from criminal justice courses, a minimum of 24 semester credit hours must be from criminal justice courses. The remaining 9 hours can be from approved graduate courses in other areas that meet the academic and career objectives of the student. A student is allowed to select a total of 6 hours of elective course work to be applied for degree requirements from CRIM 5400, CRIM 6940, CRIM 6950, and CRIM 6990 with a total of 3 credit hours in any one of these courses counted toward degree requirements. For additional information see department web site at http://www.utoledo.edu/hshs/criminaljustice/.

For students entering into the program in January 2009, the distribution of the required 33 hours will change. The criminal justice electives will reduce to 3 hours with electives remaining at 9; core courses increasing to 21 hours with the inclusion of:

An optional certificate program in juvenile justice is offered as part of the master of arts in criminal justice degree program. This certificate is designed to provide a student with a more in-depth study of juvenile justice issues. The certificate requires the successful completion of the requirements for the master of arts in criminal justice degree and a minimum of 12 credit hours in juvenile justice courses which may be counted as criminal justice electives or electives. A student may not pursue a certificate or enroll in any certificate course without first obtaining written approval from the criminal justice graduate coordinator.

Joint M.A. in Criminal Justice/Juris Doctor
Students pursuing this joint degree program must be first admitted to the College of Law. After successful completion of the first year, a student of the College of Law may apply for the joint degree program. For more information on this joint degree program, please contact the department of criminal justice.

The department of kinesiology offers graduate programs leading to the master of science in exercise science (M.S.E.S.) and the doctor of philosophy in exercise science (Ph.D.) degrees. These programs involve a combination of courses, seminars, clinical experiences and research that is intended to prepare individuals for a wide range of careers that relate to exercise science. The programs are interdisciplinary by design and all students are exposed to multiple dimensions of the field. As part of this program, students typically take courses that support their work from a variety of other departments, including those on the university's health science campus. Involvement in research is emphasized throughout the program.

Admission into the master's and doctoral programs is selective and is based on the applicant's previous academic training, academic record, scores on the GRE, letters of recommendation, intended area of study and space within the graduate program. Meeting the minimum standards for admission does not guarantee acceptance into any of the department's programs.

Master of Science in Exercise Science

The master of science in exercise science (M.S.E.S.) is designed to provide students with an opportunity to specialize in one of four areas: applied biomechanics, clinical kinesiology, exercise physiology or athletic training. Each of these programs involves a minimum of 36 semester hours of instruction. Full-time students typically are able to complete the programs in two years.

In addition to the College of Graduate Studies and College of Health and Human Service requirements, evaluation of applicants for admission to the master of science in exercise science program is based on the following criteria: (a) minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0 in the last 60 hours of the undergraduate program; (b) completion of the GRE, with a recommended minimum combined score of 900 for the quantitative and verbal portions of the exam; (c) a clearly defined statement of purpose that specifies the area of specialization within the degree program; (d) a minimum of three letters of reference from faculty members with specific expertise in kinesiology (or a closely related area) who have worked with the applicant in an academic setting; (e) demonstrated knowledge in human anatomy, human physiology and two additional areas of kinesiology (exercise physiology, motor learning, biomechanics, etc.); and (f) all other pertinent information requested in the application. Prospective students should contact the department for further information or visit our web site at http://www.utoledo.edu/hshs/kinesiology/.

Meeting the minimum admission requirements does not guarantee admission to the program. Admission to a specific program area is dependent on the availability of space within the specialization area (i.e. the number of students currently being advised by faculty in the specialization area). Under special circumstances, the department graduate admissions committee may choose to waive any of the above requirements.

Doctor of Philosophy in Exercise Science

The doctor of philosophy in exercise science is designed to provide qualified applicants with an opportunity to pursue advanced study and research leading to the completion of the Ph.D. degree. The program requires completion of a minimum of 72 post-master's credits, and involves a variety of courses, seminars and independent research experiences that typically require four years of full-time study to complete (part-time study may be possible in some program areas, . Students work closely with a faculty mentor to design a program that meets the unique needs of the individual. This includes courses in the major area that may be taken from a variety of departments and may also include courses in a cognate area (a secondary area of specialization). Upon the completion of all course work, students must pass written and oral comprehensive examinations and complete a dissertation.

In addition to the College of Graduate Studies requirements, evaluation of applicants for the doctoral program is based on the following criteria: (a) completion of a master's degree in exercise science or closely related area, (b) completion of the GRE, with a recommended minimum combined score of 1060 for the quantitative and verbal portions of the exam, (c) a clearly defined statement of purpose that specifies the area of specialization within the degree program, (d) a minimum of three letters of reference from faculty members with specific expertise in kinesiology (or a closely related area) who have worked with the applicant in an academic setting. Prospective students should contact the department for further information. Note: Meeting the minimum admission requirements does not guarantee entrance into the program. Under special circumstances, the department graduate admissions committee may choose to waive any of the above requirements.

A unique opportunity exists for students pursing either the DPT or OTD degrees at the University of Toledo to also complete the Ph.D. degree in exercise science. This option is designed for those individuals who wish to be trained as occupational or physical therapists, but ultimately aspire to teaching and research careers in the health sciences.

The graduates of the dual degree program will not only have the credentials but also the skills needed for successful careers in academia.

Admission to the OTD/Ph.D. is a two-step process. The first step is to be admitted to the OTD program. See the occupational therapy doctorate section for admission requirements. During the OTD program, the student completes the second step by applying for admission to the Ph.D. in health education. Students may apply up to 21 credits of their OTD program for credit in the Ph.D. program. Please contact the occupational therapy program at occtherapydoctorate@utoledo.edu or the department of health and rehabilitative services for more information on the dual degree.

Doctorate in Physical Therapy/Doctor of Philosophy in Exercise Science
There is a significant demand for physical therapists who have attained the additional doctor of philosophy degree to serve as core faculty in academic positions to educate DPT students and to serve as physical therapists with clinical expertise and research experience to expand the knowledge base of the profession.

Admission to the DPT/Ph.D. program is a two-step process. The first step is to be admitted to the DPT program. Students interested in being considered for the Ph.D. in exercise science degree program in the department of kinesiology will then apply to that program in the second semester of the first year of the DPT program. This process will follow the established procedures for application to the Ph.D. program. The application must identify a faculty member in the physical therapy department as a sponsor who will, if the student is admitted, serve on the student's doctoral committee. If selected for admission, the student will be officially admitted to the Ph.D. program at the beginning of the second year in the DPT Program. Students may apply up to 18 credits of their DPT program for credit in the Ph.D. program.

Master of Social Work
The graduate program in social work is fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).

The master of social work degree has an advanced generalist perspective, preparing students to create change at all system levels, from individuals to communities. Students may select a concentration in either mental health or in child and family services.

An advanced standing program exists for students with a baccalaureate social work degree from an undergraduate social work program accredited by CSWE who meet specific criteria. Students with related degrees will not be admitted under advanced standing status but are eligible for admission for the full 60-credit-hour program.

Admission Requirements
In addition to the admission criteria established by the College of Graduate Studies at The University of Toledo, the applicant to the MSW program must have completed undergraduate course work in the following areas: statistics, human biology, political science, sociology, economics and psychology.

In addition to three letters of recommendation the applicant must submit a personal statement that speaks to her/his commitment to social and economic justice as well as the applicant's professional goals over the next 10 years. Since the program is not designed to prepare graduates for work in private practice, an applicant indicating that private practice is his/her professional goal will be advised to consider other programs, such as counselor education at UT that will be better suited to meet this goal.

The personal statement and references from both employers and prior faculty members will be evaluated for a �fit� with the social work profession and our program's focus on social and economic justice. Applicants must convey their adherence to the values and ethics of the profession. Applicants with no evidence of the above will not be admitted to the program.

The Council on Social Work Education does not permit programs to provide course credit for work experience. It is our hope that each class admitted would have a mixture of students who have experience as well as those without extensive professional experience. However, this will not be a condition of admission.

We encourage diversity among the students accepted to the program. This includes diversity of gender, age, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, ability and experience in the profession, etc. Prospective applicants are urged to review information on the department web site at http://www.utoledo.edu/hshs/socialwork/.

Advanced Standing Program
In addition to the admission criteria established by the College of Graduate Studies at The University of Toledo, the applicant applying for regular admission to the advanced standing program must meet the following requirements: hold a baccalaureate degree in social work from a CSW-accredited social work program, have a minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0, and have a minimum GPA of 3.3 in the social work major. Additionally, the personal statement and references will be evaluated on the same basis as listed under the MSW Program.

Degree Requirements for the Master in Social Work
The complete MSW Program requires 60 semester hours for graduation that is consistent with MSW programs across the country. Foundation course work is offered in the first year of the program and advanced course work in the second year.

Students must enroll in 16 credit hours of field education to obtain the required 900 hours required by CSWE. Six of these hours are taken during the foundation year and ten at the advanced year. While every effort is made to accommodate students with full-time jobs, applicants to the program must be aware that field placements primarily take place during business hours. We are unable to guarantee a night or weekend field placement.

Students who are awarded advanced standing complete 33 credit hours to obtain the MSW degree. The advanced standing program focuses on the advanced generalist courses and field placements. Courses at the 6000 level are required for the advanced stranding program.
