Undergraduate Admission Requirements
Students seeking admission must meet the criteria listed below. Materials for admission will be reviewed by the EMEE Department Chairperson on a case-by-case basis. The number of students admitted to the program will be determined by the availability of space within the program.
*The Academic Program Change Request is available in MAX. Use this online form to request a change to your academic program. Including changing, adding or dropping a major and adding or dropping a minor. Requests for a change in the catalog term (to backdate or update requirements) may also be submitted via this online form.
*The Department of Mathematics has revised the Mathematics Placement Test and Basic Skills Test. All testing will be through ALEKS, an online platform that students can access with their MU login and password. The paper version of the Mathematics Placement Test and Basic Skills Test have been eliminated.
One notable change, from prior use of ALEKS, is the student’s first attempt on ALEKS will be a practice attempt without the proctoring protocols. The score from this attempt will not be used to determine the student’s mathematics placement. Please emphasize the importance of taking the assessment at least twice.
For more information about the Mathematics Placement Test and the link for ALEKS, please visit https://www.millersville.edu/math/placementtest.php.
Students in Early Childhood Education, Special Education, and Middle Level Education majors will take the Mathematics Placement Test on ALEKS in place of the Basic Skills Test. The ALEKS score will determine if they need to take MATH 104 Fundamentals of Mathematics 1 with the Supplemental course (MATH 094)
If the ALEKS score is 13 or higher, the student does not need to take MATH 094.
*Information regarding the Pre-Service Testing requirements and registration can be found on the MU Certification Office webpage, https://www.millersville.edu/cert/testingreq/index.php. These assessments are required by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) to show aptitude in Reading, Writing and Mathematics. The Pre-Service testing is a requirement that must be satisfied in order to obtain a teacher’s certification in the state of Pennsylvania as well as a stipulation for admission to Advanced Professional Studies (APS).
*All education majors need to obtain background clearances and a TB test, which must be updated each year and must be valid for the entire semester. Background clearances include Act 34 (Criminal Record Background Check), Act 151 (PA Child Abuse History Certification) and Act 114 (FBI Federal Criminal History Background Check - Fingerprint Clearance). Satisfactory clearances are required in order for you to register for any classes with a field experience. More information about obtaining and submitting clearances can be found on the Department of Field Services webpage, https://www.millersville.edu/fieldservices/clearances.php. Please contact the department chairperson should you have concerns about your ability to pass these clearances.
*After being admitted to an education major program, a department representative will officially change your major and assign an advisor to you. You should then schedule an appointment with your new advisor to discuss your future course plan.
