Candidates for the Preliminary Administrative Services Credential Program or the combined Preliminary Administrative Services Credential and Master of Arts Degree in Education (with an emphasis in School Administration) Program must first meet minimal University standards for graduate status. These general standards are: (1) having an acceptable baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university; (2) being in good academic standing at the last college or university attended; (3) having a grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.75 in the last 60 semester units (90 quarter units) attempted; and (4) satisfactorily meeting the professional, personal, scholastic, and other standards for graduate study, including qualifying examinations.
For admission to the University, submit to the appropriate University offices, the application and fee, and two copies of official transcripts from each college or university previously attended. You may also apply for admission online.
For admission to the Credential Program ONLY, please submit the following items:
- Copy of California Credential
- Proof of CBEST
- Program application and receipt for program application fee (form may be downloaded below)
- One letter of sponsorship from district or county office, superintendent, associate or assistant superintendent
- A formal "entry interview" will be scheduled during your semester of enrollment.
For admission to the MA Program, please submit the following items in addition to the items listed above:
- Miller Analogies Test (MAT). Admission eligibility is based on a combination of grade point average in the last 60 units completed plus MAT scores to equal a minimum score of 100. The formula for this calculation is: GPA x 20 + MAT raw score = total score. To convert your MAT scale score to a raw score, refer to the MAT Conversion Chart. For information on the MAT, please contact the University Testing Office (209-667-3157).
- Two letters of recommendation from school administrators (in addition to the letter of sponsorship submitted for the credential program), which indicate the applicant's potential for graduate-level study.
