Teacher Credentialing Program Admissions Process

To be considered for admission to Antioch University's Teacher Credentialing and MA in Education program, please submit the following materials to the Admissions Office.

  • Complete the online Application Form and Admissions Dialogue.

  • Request official transcripts of all post-secondary institutions from which you have received college credit. A grade point average of 2.80 overall or better is required. If your GPA is below that and you believe that it does not represent your true academic abilities, please provide a full explanation in writing.

  • If you are interested in obtaining financial aid, please visit the Financial Aid section of our website and review the information provided. We encourage you to begin the financial aid application process immediately. Please do not wait until you are admitted to fill out the financial aid application – the process takes time so Antioch University recommends beginning the process when you first apply.

  • A current resume including all paid and volunteer positions. Specify name(s) of organization(s), dates of affiliation, your title(s) and responsibilities, and the names and phone numbers of your supervisors.

  • Submit two letters of recommendation. Select at least two people to complete Recommendation Forms on your behalf. Recommendation Forms should be sent directly to the Admissions Office by individuals who can comment on your qualifications for the program, preferably one from a person who has known you in an academic setting and the other from a person for whom you have worked. If you have experience with children and/or in a school, be sure that one of your recommendations describes your skills in that context. Additional Recommendation Forms may enhance the quality of your application.

  • Take the California Basic Educational Skills Test (CBEST). You must pass this test in order to be fully admitted to the program. If you have not yet received your CBEST scores by the time you apply, then include proof of your registration for the test. Submit a copy of your CBEST results showing your passing score to the Admissions Office. The CBEST is offered a limited number of times during the year. Please visit the CBEST website for further information regarding test dates and registration procedures.

After we receive your application materials, we will contact you to make an appointment for a personal interview at a time convenient for you. This interview is an opportunity for you to present your goals and qualifications and to ask questions about Antioch University's program.

When you are ready to start the application process, simply click on the "Apply Now" button along the right hand side of your screen. You can save your application and come back to it at any time, but remember that your application cannot be processed until all items are complete and you have officially submitted the online form.

If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid.
