• Three letters of recommendation regarding the prospective graduate student's potential for doing master's level work, which may come from such sources as the undergraduate major adviser, current employer, school principal or others who are knowledgeable about the applicant’s ability to engage in graduate work in the desired program.

• A well-written statement describing the students' background and goals as well as the importance of the degree In achieving those goals.

• Some programs have selective admissions and may admit a limited number of students. Thus, meeting all formal criteria does not guarantee admission.

Requirements for Master’s Degree Programs

Master’s programs housed in the department of Curriculum and Instruction require a minimum of 30 or 36 semester hours (depending on program) of approved graduate course work. No more than six semester hours of credit from any combination of workshops (5950), problems or special topics courses (5980 or 6980), and independent studies (5990 or 6990) may be included in the degree program.

Programs leading to licensure or endorsement may require additional semester hours to fulfill the licensure credential as well as degree requirements.

Licensure Alternative Master’s Program (LAMP)

The Licensure Alternative Master's Program (LAMP) is a unique program for providing an initial license for those individuals who are seeking a career change and are interested in becoming teachers. The LAMP provides a sequence of courses applicable to teacher licensure from the State of Ohio and may be combined with an appropriate master’s degree. Licensure may be obtained in the following areas: Adolescent education (grades 7-12), middle childhood education (grades 4-9), art education (grades K-12) and music education (grades K-12). The program is designed to provide the student with opportunities to spend time in school settings and to put these experiences into perspective through on-campus reflective seminars.

Admission requirements for Licensure Alternative Master's Program:

All applicants must have a minimum 2.7 overall undergraduate GPA and a minimum 2.7 GPA in the licensure area. Other admission requirements may include (but are not limited to) application, writing samples, interviews, and recommendation letters.

LAMP (Licensure Alternative Master's Program) in Middle Grades (MGE) and Adolescent/Young Adult Education

LAMP is a highly selective master's program that combines licensure in the middle grades (grades 4-9) with a master's degree in Middle Childhood Education (MIDD) or licensure in adolescent/young adult education (grades 7-12) with a master's degree in Secondary Education (SECE). The LAMP program in these two master's degree with licensure areas is a one calendar year (August to August) full-time cohort-based program. Please see the LAMP website link from the Curriculum and Instruction web page for further details on both programs. Application deadline for this LAMP program is April 1st.

This program can be completed on a part-time basis, and students can be admitted at any time during the calendar year. Students may also receive a master's degree in Middle Childhood Education (MIDD) or Secondary Education (SECE) while completing licensure requirements by taking additional coursework.

Department of
CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND SOCIAL WORK
MORRIS JENKINS, chair

The department of criminal justice and social work offers individual master's degrees in each of the professions. A certificate in juvenile justice is available in association with the master's degree in criminal justice.

Criminal Justice Program

The department of criminal justice and social work 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 social work with the College of Law offers 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.

Admission

In addition to the College of Graduate Studies and Judith Herb College of Education, Health Science and Human Service requirements, evaluation of applicants for the criminal justice graduate program is based on the following criteria:

application
three letters of recommendation
personal statement
official transcripts
GPA of 3.0 or above on a 4 point scale is preferred; GPA of at least 2.7 on a 4 point scale will be considered on a case by case basis
Applicants with less than 2.70 must take the Graduate Record Exam (GRE)

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 graduate admissions committee may choose to admit a promising applicant as a provisional student in the program.

Program of Study

The master of arts in criminal justice requires a minimum of 33 semester hours including core and elective course work. Students should meet with the director of the graduate program in criminal justice to develop a plan of study. Any electives taken outside of criminal justice must be preapproved by the director of the graduate program in criminal justice.

Social Work Program

The department of criminal justice and social work offers the professional master of social work degree (MSW). The graduate program in social work is fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education.

Master of Social Work

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 who meet specific criteria including a baccalaureate social work degree from an undergraduate social work program accredited by CSWE. Students with related degrees will not be admitted under advanced standing status.

Admission

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 submit

three letters of recommendation from both employers and prior faculty members
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

Additional requirements for admission mission to the advanced standing program include

a baccalaureate degree in social work from a CSW-accredited social work program
minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0
minimum GPA of 3.3 in the social work program

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. 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 program website.

Program of Study

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 (6) of these hours are taken during the foundation year and ten (10) during 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 admission with advanced standing must 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.

Doctor of Philosophy in Exercise Science

The department of kinesiology provides qualified students with the opportunity to pursue coursework and research leading to the doctor of philosophy in exercise science. Students work closely with a faculty mentor to design a program that is consistent with the mentor's research focus and that meets the unique needs of the student. This includes courses, seminars, independent study and research, and may reflect a secondary area of specialization (cognate) that some students choose to pursue. Areas of research include: muscle physiology, cardiovascular physiology, biomechanics of human movement, sports injury and rehabilitation. Typically, graduates of this program go on to pursue careers in higher education teaching and research or post-doctoral research in areas relating to their doctoral specialization.

A unique feature of the program is the possibility for students in the university’s doctorate in physical therapy and the occupational therapy doctorate programs to combine either of these programs with work leading to the completion of the doctor of philosophy in exercise science degree. This option is ideal for students who wish to pursue a career in academics and research relating to physical or occupational therapy.

Admission

Prospective students are considered for admission to the doctoral program on the basis of the following:

The individual’s previous academic training – admitted students will typically have a master’s degree in exercise science or a closely related area.
The individual’s academic record – the applicant’s undergraduate and graduate academic record should demonstrate the ability for high-level scholarship.
The applicant’s scores on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) – applicants should have a combined (quantitative and verbal) GRE score of at least 1040 or above the 50 percentile.
The applicant’s letters of recommendation – three letters are required from individuals qualified to assess the applicant’s potential for success in doctoral education.
The applicant’s intended area of study – applicants must identify their intended area of study within the Ph.D. program and be selected as an advisee by faculty member working in that area.

Students enrolled in the first year of study in the doctor of physical therapy or the occupational doctorate should apply for the doctor of philosophy in exercise science. In addition to the admission criteria above, a faculty member from the student’s clinical doctoral program should provide a letter of recommendation and be willing to serve as mentor to the student.

Program of Study

The doctor of philosophy in exercise science requires a minimum of 72 post-master’s credits for completion; all students complete a dissertation as part of the degree process. All prospective applicants should contact a faculty member in the department of kinesiology to discuss their interests and plans.

Students work closely with a faculty mentor to design a program that meets the unique needs of the individual. The program of study typically requires four years of full-time study. The dual degree program with the clinical doctoral degrees in occupational therapy and physical therapy provide a limited number of courses and competencies that meet the requirements of both degrees.

REHABILITATION SCIENCES
MICHELLE MASTERSON, chair

Introduction

The department of rehabilitation sciences includes clinical doctoral programs in occupational therapy and physical therapy. The master of arts is available for students interested in speech-language pathology (therapy).

Speech-Language Pathology Program

The graduate program provides students with the necessary coursework and clinical practicum experience to attain a master of arts in speech-language pathology that is applicable toward the Certification of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and state licensure in the area of speech-language pathology. In addition to successful completion of the master’s degree requirements, the certification and licensure processes include approved undergraduate preparation, successful completion of the national specialty examination in speech-language pathology, and a clinical fellowship (professional experience year).

The speech-language pathology graduate program is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation of the American-Speech-Language-Hearing Association.

Master of Arts in Speech-Language Pathology

Admission

Undergraduate students with a degree in speech-language pathology will be considered for entry into the graduate program. Students without adequate undergraduate preparation in speech-language pathology will need to complete a series of leveling courses in the major to be considered for entry into the graduate program as an undergraduate with degree.

The deadline for completed applications for consideration for acceptance into the graduate speech-language pathology program is January 15. Applications must provide GRE scores, letters of recommendation, and transcriptions. Applicants may be selected to participate in an interview. Applications received after January 15 may not receive full consideration.

Acceptance into the ASHA accredited speech-language pathology graduate program is highly competitive. Consequently, many factors are taken into consideration when selecting applicants for acceptance into the program as an undergraduate with degree. Preference is given to applicants who exceed factors including, but not limited to:

undergraduate preparation in the field
cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher in the major
potential to successfully complete the graduate program
quality of reference letters (require 3)
stated goals and purpose
oral and/or written language skills
interview (at the discretion of the program)
GRE with a combined score of 950 or higher and a writing score of 4.0 or higher

Program of Study

A minimum of 36 graduate hours in speech-language pathology coursework is necessary to complete the academic requirements of the degree. Additionally, students must complete multiple clinical experiences including on-campus clinical practica as well as a minimum of two externships. Students may choose between a thesis or comprehensive examination.
