Pre-Admissions Review Process:

  1. Applicants must participate in a pre-admissions review process to determine if they qualify to apply for the CAGS in School Counseling program.
  2. This process includes submitting documentation to the admissions department and conducting individual evaluations of a student's academic career. 
  3. Please contact the Admissions Department if you would like more information.

Application Process:

Applicants must submit an official application, including the following:

  • Application: Completed and signed at admissions.eastern.edu
  • Two Recommendations:  One professional recommendation and the other academic. The professional reference must be from a present or past workplace supervisor and the academic from a college professor. The recommendations must be on our forms. **If you have been out of school for more than 4 years, you can submit two professional recommendations.
  • Official transcript(s) from the degree conferring undergraduate and graduate institutions you attended, must be from a college or university with institutional accreditation that is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
    *Applicants with unaccredited Bachelor's Degrees can be considered for admission on a case-by-case basis.
    Transcripted studies should reflect adequate preparation for study in the relevant graduate program.
    How to Request a Transcript: View FAQs about requesting a transcript from your previous schools.

    GRE Scores: It is strongly recommended that applicants who do not meet the GPA requirement submit GRE scores to supplement their application.
