The mission of the School of Education is two-fold:

• To prepare students to serve as effective teachers and members of related professions, and
• To assist students in meeting Indiana certification requirements for public school personnel.

The purpose of the graduate education program at IUSB is to foster the learning of professional knowledge, behaviors, and attitudes that will lead to life-long learning for the betterment of all learners. We believe that our graduate students come to us as professionals; our role is to build on the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that they already possess to prepare them for the future. For professionals to be effective in the next millennium they must be prepared for changes which will demand flexibility, an expansion of their knowledge and skills, and an understanding of a diverse population of students. The goal of our programs is to nurture in our graduate students a dedication to continued learning, so they can adapt to a future that is as uncertain for them as it is for their students.
 
 

Educators of the twenty-first century must be prepared to meet the needs of all learners. It is critical that future educators have:

• Knowledge of diverse learners.
• Knowledge of sound educational principles and practices for implementation.
• An understanding of methods of assessing learners and interpreting test results for instructional planning.
• The knowledge and skills required to develop flexible environments to maximize the learning of all students.
• The opportunity to implement their learning in real world applications.

Committed professionals are continuously learning about their field, which demands the wisdom of best practice. The field of education has made dramatic changes in the past decade and will continue to change in the future. This will require that professionals be up-to-date on established and contemporary research, as well as emerging educational policies and practices. Because education is in such a state of flux it is important that true professionals are able to critically examine these changes in light of past practice.

A focus on diverse learners requires professionals to understand the individual differences between those learners. This requires a thorough understanding of a variety of evaluative methods. This includes a knowledge of standardized tests but also includes the ability to interpret and implement these findings. Since standardized tests may not be appropriate for all students, it is also important that professionals have expertise in a variety of observation skills and approaches to authentic assessment and the ability to implement assessment into flexible learning environments.

Effective professionals who deal with diverse learners must be able to create flexible learning environments that meet the needs of all learners. This must begin with materials and strategies that are developmentally appropriate but it must go beyond age differences to create learning environments that are responsive to differences in learning styles, modes of intelligence, rural and urban backgrounds, and cultural differences. Learning environments must be flexible and individualized; they must include both structured and unstructured time; they must incorporate technological but also traditional approaches.

Professional educators not only acquire knowledge and skills; they must also construct knowledge and apply it in real world settings. The final test of the true professional educator is their ability to apply what was learned and to continue constructing and applying that knowledge.
 
 

The School of Education attempts to provide appropriate educational experiences for graduate students who are working for advanced degrees, for new teaching licenses, for transfer to other institutions, or for professional development in their fields. Applicants must indicate their goal on the application. The applicant can apply for only one degree at a time, although certification and professional development work may be included. If the applicant changes goals, a new application must be filed. Admission to one program does not assure admission to another.

Admission to specific programs may require additional steps as described in the program specific admission requirements and procedures section of this Bulletin. All programs require the following steps:

1. File the application for admission to graduate study. If admission is for purposes other than degree or certification, the application must also contain a planned program indicating the number of credit hours, the type of courses, the purpose, and a time schedule for completion. Applications may not be filed for the master’s degree program until all academic work has been completed for the student’s bachelor’s degree program.
2. Obtain official transcripts from all institutions other than Indiana University where the applicant has taken courses previously.
3. Contact the Education Student Services Office to complete the admissions process. The director of education student services/graduate advisor will prepare an initial degree program outline. Each student will also be assigned a faculty advisor. The student and the faculty advisor together will plan and periodically review the student’s program so that:
1. The mandatory program requirements are met.
2. The advising check requirement between the completion of the 15th and 18th credit hours is met.
3. The student will continually strengthen those areas which the student (or the advisor) believes are in need of strengthening.
4. International students wishing to enroll must submit the international student admission materials and the IUSB Master of Science degree application to the IUSB Office of International Programs. This must be done before they may be considered for admission to a graduate program. All students must present evidence of proficiency in English if their native language is not English. Applicants must score 550 or above on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) before they are eligible for unconditional admission.
5. Undergraduates who are in the final semester of an undergraduate degree program and who complete the requirements within that semester may be admitted to graduate study. Courses open to graduate students that will not be included as part of the undergraduate degree requirements may be taken during that semester and will count toward the higher degree. Failure to obtain the bachelor’s degree at the end of the semester will nullify graduate credit for the courses taken. The application previously submitted for graduate work may be validated by notification of receipt of the bachelor’s degree. All undergraduates must receive written permission from the advisor/counselor, School of Education, prior to enrolling in a graduate course.
6. A check or money order payable to Indiana University for the application fee. The application fee is required only for students enrolling for the first time at Indiana University.
7. Applicants must submit all materials to the Education Student Services Office, 118 Greenlawn Hall, IUSB. The mailing address is:
Education Student Services Office
Indiana University South Bend
1700 Mishawaka Avenue
Post Office Box 7111
South Bend, IN 46634-7111

3. Have completed fewer than 12 credit hours in professional education courses. The number of credit hours in which students are deficient may be removed by taking:
1. undergraduate education courses, or
2. graduate education courses beyond the minimum credit hours required for that degree.
NOTE: THIS REQUIREMENT DOES NOT APPLY TO THE MASTER OF SCIENCE IN COUNSELING AND HUMAN SERVICES.

—INTERIM If some required admission materials are not available, an applicant may be admitted on an interim basis, provided that those materials that are available indicate that the applicant is probably admissible. Interim admission is valid only for the enrollment period immediately following the date the application was filed.

—CERTIFICATION Applicants seeking Indiana certification are admitted only for enrollment periods necessary to complete specific certification requirements.

—NONDEGREE Nondegree admission applies to applicants who have permission from other institutions to take courses at IUSB and transfer the credits to the institution where the applicant is a bona fide student. This admission is valid only for the enrollment period requested by the applicant and never for more than one semester per request. Applicants who have been denied admission to Indiana University will not be admitted as nondegree students.

—DENIED Applicants who have been denied admission are not permitted to take courses in the program in which they applied. If denied admission to a particular program but not denied admission to study in education, the applicant may reapply for admission to a different program. The applicant may not begin course work until admitted.

The following requirements and procedures apply to specific programs:

Candidates selected for the program will make a commitment to progress through the program as members of the cohort for two years.

• General application requirements and procedures as described in preceding section on admission.
• Approval of application by the director of the program.

This program allows candidates for teacher certification in secondary education who already have a bachelor’s degree in a different field to pursue state certification requirements, meet all of the School of Education’s professional undergraduate requirements, and meet the requirements for a master’s degree at the same time.

All required education courses for certification, except student teaching, are taken at the graduate level. If degree candidates have course deficiencies related to their teaching specialties, additional undergraduate courses may be required. The basic admission requirements for the master’s in secondary education apply.

Special Education

• General application requirements and procedures as described in preceding section on admission.
• An admission appointment with the director of special education, who will assist with the design for the program of study.
• Have completed a minimum of 6 credit hours of course work in an exceptionality area. Students who are already certified in an area of special education or who have completed equivalent course work will have met this requirement. The applicant may be admitted conditionally until this requirement is completed, but it must be completed prior to enrolling in further graduate course work to be included in the major requirements for the degree. Graduate courses in special education to meet this requirement are to be selected from the following:

EDUC K505 Introduction to Special Education for  Graduate Students
One of the following:
   EDUC K550 Introduction to Mental Retardation
   EDUC K520 Survey of Behavior Disorders
   EDUC K521 Survey of Learning Disabilities

The following procedure applies to students wishing to obtain an Indiana teaching license who have received a bachelor’s degree in an area other than education.

IUSB Teacher Licensing Procedures

Those who decide to pursue teacher certification at IUSB must complete a formal application to the university. The application can be obtained from the Education Student Services Office.

Applicants are encouraged to obtain a program sheet from the Education Student Services Office. This will give students a general idea of the required course work needed to complete their intended certification (licensure).

If the applicant decides to pursue the certification, an official evaluation must be done. The official evaluation is done during an appointment with the teacher certification officer. An official transcript showing previous academic work is compared to the IUSB Teacher Education Program of choice, i.e., elementary, special education, etc. It is then determined which additional courses are necessary to achieve licensure. During that appointment other pertinent facts regarding the Teacher Education Program at IUSB are shared.

Official transcripts from all colleges/universities attended must also be submitted. Evaluations will not be completed until all materials are received.

Once the evaluation is completed, it will be returned to the applicant. If there are any questions regarding the evaluation, an appointment can be made with a graduate advisor from the Education Student Services Office.

Those holding an Indiana license (in-state) who wish to add to that license or who have never held certification (licensure) may request an official evaluation from the IUSB Education Student Services Office.

Those holding a degree in education from an out-of-state institution or an out-of-state teaching license must go through the Indiana Professional Standards Board for an evaluation. The following materials must be sent for the Indiana Professional Standards Board to do their evaluation:

• Official transcripts from colleges/universities attended.
• Copy of the out-of-state teacher license (if applicable).
• Evaluation fee (currently $5.00 plus $5.00 license application fee).
• Letter requesting evaluation.
• TEC-2 form available in the Education Student Services Office. Send to: Indiana Professional Standards Board, 251 East Ohio Street, Suite 201, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204-2133.
• Background criminal history check.

Basic Requirements

• A student must be admitted unconditionally to graduate study, or, if allowed to enter conditionally, must remove the conditions satisfactorily within one year of admission. Enrollment in at least one course within two years of the date of unconditional admission is required to maintain admission status.
• A student must complete a minimum of 36 credit hours (55 credit hours in counseling and human services).
• A student may apply a maximum of 6 credit hours of credit toward the degree gained through workshops and/or conferences that carry college credit. Credit acquired in activity courses or in work taken by correspondence will not apply toward degree requirements.
• Course work used to complete the requirements for a previous master’s degree will not be accepted as credit for the degree Master of Science in Education.
• At least 6 graduate credit hours must be completed in academic units other than education. A list of Indiana University courses outside of education approved for graduate credit fulfilling this requirement is available in the Education Student Services Office.

Semester Load

Indiana University defines full-time status for graduate student as enrollment in a minimum of 8 credit hours per semester. Half-time status is enrollment in a minimum of 4 credit hours per semester.

Residence

The residence requirement for the degree Master of Science in Education at IUSB may be met by completion of at least 15 of the 36 credit hours on the IUSB campus.

Grade Point Average

Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 in all work to be eligible for the degree Master of Science in Education. An overall 2.5 cumulative GPA must be earned to meet certification requirements. Students should refer to undergraduate academic policies for other requirements that may apply to graduate students pursuing standard teacher certification programs at IUSB, and then consult with their advisor.

The School of Education at IUSB will not accept D grades earned at IUSB or at any institution for credit toward a graduate degree. No grade below C (2.0) will be accepted in the student’s concentration area(s) for any teacher certification program. The latter rule applies to various certification areas as follows:
—For students majoring in elementary education, this rule applies to professional education courses.
—For students majoring in senior high-junior high/middle school education, this rule applies to:

1. professional education
2. major (primary), and
3. minor (supporting) courses.

1. professional education and
2. major courses.

1. applied music courses,
2. conducting, orchestration, and techniques courses, and
3. professional education courses.

Graduate credits to be transferred to IUSB must have the approval of the graduate advisor and the student’s faculty advisor. An advanced approval form is available in the Education Student Services Office. Under no circumstances will any work with a grade of C (2.0) or below be transferred.

As a general rule, up to 6 graduate credit hours from an accredited institution may be transferred and applied toward the degree, provided such courses are appropriate to the student’s degree objective and the GPA beyond the bachelor’s degree appearing on the transcript is at least B and the GPA of all transfer credit is at least B (3.0).

By special arrangement, applicants may transfer up to 15 graduate credit hours from one or more of three other state universities in Indiana (Indiana State, Ball State, and Purdue), provided that courses being transferred are appropriate to the degree as determined by the program. The total of work to be transferred from these three institutions, including 6 credit hours that may be accepted for transfer from any other accredited institution, may not exceed 15 credit hours. The work to be transferred must be certified by the institution in which it was taken as carrying graduate credit.

Pass/Fail Option

Any graduate student may choose to be evaluated on a simple pass/fail basis (P/F) in any elective course, up to a maximum of four courses per degree program and not more than two courses in any calendar year. A Master of Science in Education degree candidate may not elect the pass/fail option for any of the credit hours required in the major, minor, any area of certification, or in the 6 credit hours of graduate work required outside the School of Education; only electives may be taken pass/fail.

A student choosing the pass/fail (P/F) option for an elective course must do so during the first three weeks of a regular semester or during the first two weeks of a summer session by processing the prescribed request in the Education Student Services Office. This election is not reversible.

Application for Graduate Degrees

An application for a degree must be completed and filed six months before the degree is to be granted. The application is to be filed in the Education Student Services Office. Failure to file this application by the proper deadline may result in failure to graduate at the expected time. The responsibility for checking degree requirements rests with the student.

Retention in Graduate Study

• Students failing to maintain a B (3.0) average in all work taken after the bachelor’s degree will be placed on academic probation and so notified. If a student fails to remove the probationary status during the next enrollment period, the privilege of continuing in the School of Education may be denied. Students who have been dismissed from the School of Education are not eligible for recommendation for teaching or other licenses. Students who have been dismissed may appeal to the office of the dean if there are extenuating circumstances that may not have been considered.
• A student who has been admitted to the School of Education but denied admission to a particular program may not take any further work in that area of study unless the program agrees to the continued work.
• All work must be completed within six calendar years from the date of the receipt of a grade in the first course that is to be used toward the degree.

Students may extend the level of their licenses by adding endorsements/minors. One advantage of pursuing an endorsement is that it enhances employment opportunities. The more one can teach, the more marketable one becomes to a potential employer. Another advantage is that pursuing an endorsement adds to one’s professional competence and development. Students are encouraged to pursue these additions. With proper planning, an endorsement can usually be completed at the same time the student completes the major.

Courses used for both the major and endorsement may be counted only once in determining total credit hours for an additional bachelor’s degree. An overall GPA of 2.5 is needed for the endorsement area, as well as a minimum grade of C in each course in the endorsement.
Pursuing a bachelor’s degree/certification and an endorsement at the same time means that two student teaching assignments will need to be made. One student teaching assignment will be required for the major, which will be ten weeks, and one student teaching assignment (practicum) will be required for the endorsement area, which will be six weeks. Only one ten week student teaching assignment in the major, and one six week practicum for the endorsement, can be done in one semester. Students are urged to consult their advisors for specific details. Endorsements are available in the following areas:

A master’s degree and five years teaching experience will enable the holder of a standard teaching license to professionalize that license. Upon completion of the school administration program at IUSB, the holder of a professional teaching license may then apply for licensure in either elementary or secondary administration and supervision.

A student who has a professional, provisional, or standard teaching license in elementary or secondary education may seek to qualify for the junior high/middle school license. Contact the Education Student Services Office to obtain the current licensing requirements.

The Health Occupations Education program has been established in response to a demand for qualified educators in allied health fields. It is a career mobility bachelor’s degree for credentialed health specialists, designed to prepare the student for teaching in colleges and universities, vocational colleges and schools, clinical teaching centers, and programs sponsoring continuing and in-service education in the health fields. The program will assist students to develop the competencies required to teach effectively in their own fields of expertise. The degree is offered through the Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) School of Education, though some course work necessary for the degree may be able to be completed at IUSB or in the South Bend area. Contact the IUPUI Education Student Services Office at (317) 274-6842 or www.education.iupui.edu/ for further information.

The Master of Science in Education degree with a major in health occupations is also available. Currently the major portion of the course work is available only in Indianapolis; interested persons are urged to contact the IUPUI Education Student Services Office.
