Master of Arts in Literacy Studies Admission Procedures
Students are screened for admission to the program on a continuous basis. To apply, students must submit the Graduate College application and official transcripts to the Office of Admissions. In addition, they should send a set of their official transcripts, teaching certificate/endorsement(s), a 1000-1500 word written statement outlining career and professional goals, and two letters of recommendation.
Applications are evaluated on the basis of:

- Experience working in a professional setting.
- A valid Michigan Teaching Certificate will be required for
