Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

Through a year of full-time study, beginning immediately after completion of the undergraduate degree, students are able to complete their M.Ed. within a year. Applicants holding a bachelor’s degree from another institution may also apply to Endicott’s 5th year M.Ed. programs.

The following conditions apply for a student who completes one of the undergraduate teacher licensure programs at Endicott College:

• Maintain a 3.0 GPA through their undergraduate course of study

Endicott Teaching Fellows Program

This year-long program provides students the opportunity to gain classroom experience and complete a master’s degree in a single year. Teaching Fellows start their master’s-level courses in summer and continue to take courses throughout the school year. In September, they begin work in a partnering district and continue to intern full-time during the year. Fellows who seek an initial license complete practicum hours in the role of the license they are pursuing. Fellows receive continuous guidance and support from veteran teachers, Endicott supervisors, and education advisors. In exchange for one academic year of teaching, the district agrees to pay the equivalent of full graduate program tuition for their Teaching Fellow. Housing, health insurance and other living expenses are the responsibility of the student.

International Applicants for Graduate Admission
Endicott College welcomes and encourages applicants from around the world. International applicants are required to hold a college or university degree equivalent to a four-year American baccalaureate degree. Educational documents in a foreign language are required to be translated into English. All transcripts and translations of transcripts must be official originals and must show courses completed, grades received, grading scale, duration of study, degree or diploma received, and the date conferred. Endicott College reserves the right to request verification of the credentials by an external agency.

International applicants must submit current TOEFL scores when their native language is not English or when their baccalaureate transcript is not from an institution where English is the language of instruction. Once students have been admitted as degree candidates, Endicott College will send detailed instructions about the process for acquiring an Endicott-sponsored student visa.
