Students admitted to the CES program with fewer than 48 semester hours of graduate credit and/or from a non-CACREP accredited program may be required to take additional hours to fulfill admission requirements as determined by a transcript review.

3. Complete the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). GRE scores more than four years old will not be accepted.

4. Provide three professional letters of reference from individuals familiar with the applicant’s competence to complete doctoral work based on academic background, work history, personality, and ethical behavior. (Please contact the Graduate Office for more information.)

5. Submit a current vita documenting the applicant’s professional preparation and experience.

8. Undergo a criminal background check. An applicant may be denied admission or dismissed from the CES program because of present or past criminal records.

At the conclusion of the interview process, the CES Admissions Committee will decide the status of each applicant. The following outcomes may occur:

 Admission – Applicants with Admission status are accepted into the program for the fall cohort. Students with Admission status who are unable to start with the fall cohort will need to re-apply or request a Deferred Admission status from the CES Admissions Committee.

 Deferred Admission – Applicants with Deferred Admission status will be accepted into the program upon successful completion of criteria outlined by the CES Admissions Committee. These criteria often involve completion of supplemental coursework or licensure requirements.

 Wait List – Applicants with Wait List status may be moved to Admission status if a currently admitted student withdraws his or her Admission status.

 Not Accepted – Applicants with Not Accepted status may re-apply in the future.

Transfer of Credit

Students may transfer a maximum of 12 credits from another regionally accredited university if the courses are taken as part of a CACREP accredited doctoral program and the courses meet the curricular requirements of the Lindsey Wilson College CES program. Dissertation credits cannot be transferred.

Eligibility for transfer will be determined by the CES program director in consultation with CES program faculty. Eligibility will be determined based on coursework comparability via a transcript review. Students may be required to present further evidence of eligibility, such as copies of course syllabi, to support their requests. The CES program director will notify students in writing regarding transfer eligibility decisions and will notify the Registrar’s Office in cases where transfer credits are approved. Faculty advisors will work with students on developing updated plans of study in cases where transfer credits are approved.
