About the VISION Lab

The VISION Lab in Curriculum & Instruction supports the entire College of Education.

The hardware and software will support multiple students and faculty members simultaneously in the virtual environment. In addition to the terminals, the lab is equipped with an Omni treadmill for full interactive immersive activities.

Led by Dr. Beach, the project began with an Improving Teacher Quality grant.

Currently, new graduate admissions for fall 2020 do not require the graduate entrance exams.

Prior to the coming fall, the Graduate Flight Path Program allowed prospective students, meeting certain criteria, to qualify for an exemption from taking the MAT or GRE graduate entrance exam(s) for Master's and Education Specialist degrees.

Students Successfully Completing:

• 3.0 Undergraduate GPA
• EdTPA requirements
• Praxis testing
• Teacher License

Current or former graduate students may start an Educational Specialist degree:

• Tech Master’s degree education students who have graduated within three prior years of application with a 3.5 or higher GPA may enroll in a Specialist in Education degree program without recommendation letters or additional MAT/GRE testing.

The MAT/GRE admission requirement for the C&I Master’s degree will be waived for students who have successfully passed EdTPA, Praxis, and teaching license requirements with an overall minimum GPA of 3.0 or higher.

The requirements will be confirmed through Office of Teacher Education (OTE) and Graduate Studies.

Flight Path becomes effective with graduates beginning in Spring 2016 in all UG licensure areas. Students who meet requirements may waive the MAT/GRE requirement for up to three years beyond their graduation date.

Tech Master’s degree education students who have graduated within three prior years of application with a 3.5 or higher GPA may enroll in a Specialist in Education degree program without recommendation letters or additional MAT/GRE testing.
