Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until the cohort is filled. The preferred deadline is February 1, 2020. Each new cohort will begin in the summer, beginning with summer 2020. Cohorts will no longer start in the fall term.
Graduate assistantships (GAs) are available and are awarded through a departmental selection process. Program applicants who are interested in a GA position should indicate this interest when they apply to the DEd in ALS program.
In the spring semester of each year, the Professional Studies in Education Department provides a departmental GA application to interested students who are currently in the program and to accepted future students who express an interest in a GA position through their program application (only those who are accepted and enrolled may apply).
The departmental application and resume are submitted to the program coordinator by the established deadline. PSE faculty then review applications and make GA selections from the pool of applicants.
GA positions are offered on a yearly basis, and students must reapply each year. A GA award in any given year does not guarantee future awards.

Graduate students may be eligible to finance their education through student loan programs, the Federal Work Study Program, state university employment, and/or graduate assistantships.
