Admission Process

Our Streamlined Admission Process Is Simple and Quick

At the American Graduate School for Education, most of our learners apply for admission and complete the admission and enrollment process within 2 to 4 weeks.

Before you begin your degree program at AGSE, you will:

Complete the online Application for Admission

Complete all sections of the online form. You will create a username and password to log in and out of your application until you are ready to submit it. View the online application. Please note the following:

  1. You must submit a non-refundable application fee of $100 to complete the Application for Admission process.
  2. Order your transcripts right away. We require official transcripts be sent directly to AGSE from other schools you have attended. Use the Transcript Request Letter to order transcripts. It may take 2 to 4 weeks for us to receive your transcripts. If you delay in requesting transcripts from other schools, your admission to AGSE may be delayed. Your completed application is valid for 1 year (we purge incomplete applications every month).

AGSE will complete an Academic Evaluation

When we receive a completed Application for Admission, the application fee, all of your transcripts from other schools, and your reference letters, an Admissions Committee representative will review your application packet and determine how many transfer credits will be awarded. As the receiving institution, AGSE determines the acceptance for transfer of credits. This process will take 3 to 14 days. AGSE will email an acceptance notification upon completion of the review.

AGSE will provide you a student account

The student account will be available to you online and will contain:

  • An official Letter of Acceptance, which is available for you to print.
  • A proposed Degree Plan, designed to help you move swiftly through your program and obtain your master's degree.
  • The online course enrollment system. It provides a way for you to select your courses and method of payment for the accounting department.

Please note -- Initial tuition payment must be submitted by check or credit card. If your employer pays tuition up-front rather than by reimbursing you, we can process appropriate forms and/or vouchers as required.

If you are ready to begin earning your master's degree just click on "Apply Now" at the top of the page to start the online admission process. If you have been through the website and have other questions simply click on the "Have Questions?" link located on every page.

We look forward to you joining the American Graduate School of Education.
