Admission Requirements for Education Graduate Program

Admission Requirements for Education Graduate Program

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Admission to the graduate school does not ensure you admission to a particular graduate program, it only assures consideration by the program. Admission standards and program requirements vary by program. These requirements may be more rigorous than the general Graduate School application, so make sure to check your individual program's requirements. If you are an international student, be sure to view our international student requirements.
Graduate School Information for International Students >
Admission Standards

Graduates of a regionally accredited college or university, or whose institution is recognized by the Commission on Recognition of Post-Secondary Accreditation (CORPA) may apply for admission to the Graduate School. The University reserves the right to select individuals for admission on the basis of merit to promote the best interests of the University and the society as a whole, and maximizing the potential for individual achievement.

Free Graduate School Application Process

To receive consideration for admission to the Graduate School, we encourage you to study the admission policies and procedures and supply everything required for the application in a timely manner. The submission of a complete application not only expedites the admission process, but ensures your graduate study will begin without delay.

Step 1: Graduate School Application

All persons (including graduates of Eastern New Mexico University) seeking admission to the Graduate School are required to submit a formal application for admission. You can apply to the graduate school online at no cost to you.
Graduate School Application
Step 2: Transcripts

You must request an official transcript from each institution you previously attended be forwarded directly to the Graduate School. Transcripts in the student's possession will not be accepted.
ENMU Transcript Processes
Step 3: Program Specific Application Requirements

If you qualify for admission to the Graduate School, the Graduate School will forward your file to the graduate coordinator in the program for evaluation. Because admission into a particular program depends on special program requirements, additional information about you and your academic background may be required by the program's graduate coordinator. Such information may include, but is not limited to:

Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores

Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) scores

Writing proficiency exam

Qualifying or field exams

Letters of recommendation

As previously stated, different graduate programs have specific admission standards and program requirements which you must satisfy. Admission to the Graduate School does not entitle you admission to a graduate program; it only ensures consideration by the program. (See individual graduate program descriptions for specific requirements.)

You can also find more information about a program's application requirements by visiting the program's page.

All application materials should be sent to:

Graduate School
ENMU Station 24
1500 S Ave K
Portales, NM 88130
Phone: 575.562.2147

Materials may be submitted electronically to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
ENMU Graduate Programs
Admission Notification

After your admission materials are evaluated, you will receive a letter letting you know whether or not you were admitted. This Admission Letter is the only communication you'll receive concerning your application status. It will provide your student standing and will let you know if there are any conditions, limitations or restrictions from your program or the Graduate School. This letter also provides the date you can enroll.

Timely Completion of the Admission Process

Normally, you are admitted only after all application materials have been received in the Office of the Graduate School. Students are typically unable to register until the application is complete and an admission decision is made.

If you do not complete the application process within your first semester of enrollment, or if your undergraduate degree is from an unaccredited institution, you will not be able to enroll for graduate coursework at ENMU.

Structured Literacy New Mexico

New Mexico Public Education Department Biliteracy Guidance Document - The Science of Reading for English Learners

In this document, the New Mexico Public Education provides guidance for teachers of English Learners on using Structured Literacy in biliteracy settings. The guidance provided aims to help teachers of English Learners understand how to generalize features of effective instruction with scientific, evidence-based practices for English literacy to home language literacy and biliteracy. Specific guidance on how these practices and strategies converge for instruction in English and Spanish are provided with a focus on alignment and adherence to Structured Literacy. Attention is given to areas of divergence for literacy instruction in English and Spanish to support teachers who teach English Learners in biliteracy settings.

At the beginning of the 2020/2021 school year, the New Mexico Public Education Department launched a state-wide literacy initiative, Structured Literacy New Mexico. This initiative is focused on identifying struggling readers before they fail and supporting teachers through the Science of Reading and Structured Literacy. Our intention is to increase the number of students achieving reading proficiency and reducing the number of students requiring special education services.

Structured literacy is an umbrella term used to describe evidence-based approaches for helping students learn to read and write proficiently. Structured Literacy combines a proven effective system for teaching reading with what brain science tells us is happening in the brain as we learn to read - it involves a dynamic, multi-sensory approach to learning. Research shows structured literacy approaches benefit all students and are especially effective for students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia.

Important Structured Literacy Materials

Structured Literacy Administrator Walkthrough Tool

Classroom literacy instructional observations conducted by administrators and literacy coaches serve several purposes:

Many aspects of the Structured Literacy Administrator Walkthrough Tool are aligned with the Elevate NM Observation Domains, but the components in the Structured Literacy Administrator Walkthrough tool are specific to structured literacy-based practices and are non-evaluative. These non-evaluative observations of reading instruction are one of the most important and valuable ways for principals to gather information about effective reading instruction in the classroom and offer valuable, timely specific feedback and support to reading teachers. Principals can use what they observe in the classrooms of their master reading teachers to gain a vision of what literacy instruction could look like in all classrooms.

By dedicating time to observe structured literacy-based practices in classrooms on a regular basis, school leaders demonstrate to staff that effective reading instruction is an essential school priority. Most importantly, regular observations and walkthroughs allow principals to understand how reading instruction is being delivered in the classrooms and to use that information to support teachers' efforts to provide effective, evidence-based reading instruction.

Dyslexia Handbook

The 2020 New Mexico Dyslexia Handbook: A guide to teaching ALL students to read through structured literacy is a document that provides New Mexico educators with guidelines for academic instruction for students with characteristics of dyslexia. The dyslexia handbook will provide current scientific-based information concerning dyslexia, identification of characteristics of dyslexia, identification of the specific components for appropriate multi-sensory, systematic, explicit language-based reading programs, considerations for English learners, in addition to general education and special education accommodations and classroom strategies.

Structured Literacy and Dyslexia for Diverse Learners (2.0)

This revised course, formerly known as Structured Literacy and Dyslexia 101, contains content specifically focused on English Learners. The additional content is intended to strengthen educators' knowledge and ability to instruct English Learners and all culturally and linguistically diverse learners. The course maintained its five modules with each module augmented with information and instructional strategies for effective implementation of Structured Literacy with diverse learners. The information is additive and not redundant. Each module has a seven-question quiz to be completed at the end of the module. The NMPED believes that all educators should be trained to serve New Mexico's students who are English Learners, heritage language learners, or who have a cultural or language difference. This self-paced course can be completed in 8 hours and is found in Canvas.

Structured Literacy for Biliteracy

A new standalone course Structured Literacy for Biliteracy is also available for educators that took the original Structured Literacy and Dyslexia 101 course before the release of the Structured Literacy and Dyslexia for Diverse Learners (2.0). This standalone course includes only the new content for English Learners and all culturally and linguistically diverse learners included in the revised course. The course is divided into the five original modules, but only contains new content. Each module has a three-question quiz to be completed at the end of the module and should take 2-4 hours to complete. This course is found in Canvas.

K-5 Literacy Plan Submission

Updated literacy plans for 2022-2023 school year (required by statute) should be submitted here no later than Oct. 15. The law states school districts and charter schools shall develop/revise a literacy professional development plan that includes a detailed plan for structured literacy training and a detailed plan for evidence-based reading interventions. The submission window opened Aug. 1.

LETRS

The LETRS course of study provides PreK-third grade educators with a deeper understanding of the science of reading and evidence-based strategies to support all students, particularly those who experience reading challenges. Upon completion of the LETRS coursework, participants will be able to:

Identify reading difficulties and differentiate accordingly

Articulate the science behind how the brain learns to read

Implement research-validated strategies

Assess the effectiveness of instructional resources
