FAQs
- When do I apply to the EDL program?
Applications are accepted beginning November 1 and February 1 - What are the qualifications for admission?
Candidates must have three years of full time employment in a position that requires a teaching, pupil personnel services, librarian, or school nurse credential. In addition, all students must have taken the CBEST and, if a master’s candidate, the GRE. - What do faculty look for in an application?
Faculty assess a candidate’s readiness to engage in this graduate study through the evaluation of several documents, including the letter of intent, letters of recommendation, review of summary evaluations and current levels of demonstrated leadership in the candidate’s current position. - What is the cost of the program and are their provisions for obtaining financial aid?
The best source for up to date information on fees is the SDSU Cashier's Office. Leadership candidates may be eligible for Financial aid through Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). For more information on your eligibility contact the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships - How long does it take to process a loan application?

(however, only admitted students will be awarded aid). Students must reapply for financial aid each academic year. - Are GRE scores required for the program?
A minimum score of 950 is required for Master's Degree candidates only.
