Graduate Programs
The University of Arkansas-Monticello offers four master’s degree
programs: the Master of Science Degree (M.S.) in Forest Resources, the
Master of Education Degree (M.Ed.), the Master of Education Degree
(M.Ed.) in Educational Leadership, and the Master of Arts in Teaching
Degree (M.A.T.).
Admission to the University
All students must be admitted to the
University before they may enroll in graduate
classes. A completed application for graduate
school must be submitted to the Office of
Admissions. Students who have earned a
baccalaureate degree from an accredited
institution and who have achieved a minimum
cumulative grade point average of 2.50 or better
may be unconditionally admitted to the
University and enroll in graduate-level courses.
Graduate school applicants are required to
submit an official transcript verifying their
baccalaureate degree. Students who do not
submit an official transcript may be admitted
provisionally. Provisional students may not
enroll for a second semester without the
required documents. Graduate students living
in UAM’s residence halls must also submit
proof of immunization as required by state law.
In addition, graduate applicants may be
required to submit scores on the Graduate
Record Examinations (GRE) general test.
Specific master’s degree programs may require a
certain GRE score before students may be
admitted to that program. Students should
refer to the specific master’s degree program for
its requirements.
International applicants must submit
scores from the Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL) and must submit supporting
documents required to receive an I-20. A
minimum score of 550 (paper-based) or 213
(computer-based) on the TOEFL is required for
admission.
Applicants who do not meet the minimum
grade point average of 2.50 may petition to the
Graduate Council for probationary admission.
Probationary admission will allow a student to
enroll in up to 12 hours of course work. To
continue enrollment in graduate classes,
students admitted on probationary admission
must complete 12 hours with a grade point
average of 3.00 or better and be admitted to a
graduate degree program.
A graduate student who has not been
enrolled for a period of two calendar years will
be classified as inactive. To resume graduate
study, the student must reapply for admission to
the University through the Office of Admissions.
