If you are looking into Education

**Regina** · 08-15-2006, 06:27 PM

as a degree/major. I have some following advice. This will clarify a lot of things because they are bumps I've encountered personally along the way of trying to apply to the College of Education at USF. I'm not sure if it will help anyone on here, but I hope it does.

This takes you to the main page and you must click whether you are a undergrad or grad student. If you are undergrad, like me, you would click that and it will give you a list of prerequisites.

http://www.coedu.usf.edu/main/sas/Pr...teAdvising.htm

After reviewing that, please keep in mind that if you took any AP courses, they MAY NOT have been transferred to USF. Only dual enrollment courses (courses which you took in high school through a college like HCC) are automatically transferred. In order to get an AP class credit transferred you must visit http://www.collegeboard.com/student/...p/contact.html. If you took the course within the past 4 years you can do it by telephone. If you took it more than 4 years ago you must do it through the mail. Both will cost $25 per transcript.

Print out the following checklist. You will have to click whichever program you are interested in. Once you have completed this, you should be able to apply to the college of education. http://www.coedu.usf.edu/main/sas/ne...hecklists.html

One checklist item is that you take a general knowledge exam, whether it be PRAXIS I, CLAST, or GKT. I suggest you take the GKT because it is also an exit requirement. The tricky thing about the GKT is that you can take the computer based test, but the essay portion is not offered. For that you have to go through the standard test. If you go to this page http://www.cefe.usf.edu/ you can click on either computer based or standard. If you go to computer based you can register with www.catglobal.com for 3 exams: Language skills, math, & reading. The 4th exam is the essay. You can take all 4 the standard way as well or you can register for the essay separately through http://www.cefe.usf.edu/BulletinRequest.aspx. You have to ask for a registration bulleting through the mail. Once you receive it there should be a scantron that you fill out and register for the essay only or all 4 sections.

Notice, there are no prerequisites requiring an A.A. or A.S. or degree of any sort.

Another helpful website is http://www.facts.org.

You can get a degree audit which can be very helpful when you are trying to figure out if you have your prereq's done.

Thanks for your help Regina. I'm sure this will help many people out.

Well, this is no guarantee, I haven't been accepted yet.

But hopefully I will have good news. If not I'll try again in the Spring.
