I thought that's not even possible. From what I understand, this has happened to people who applied for a PhD and were admitted to the Master's program or those who applied to the M.eD and got admitted to the MA. smcg92 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's possible for Ed.M.; the final deadline is 4/15. I suspect you are right--they internally create another submission to recommend you to a different program.

smcg92 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hi guys! I was the one with the question about the new submission. I found out I was accepted today for the Masters of Arts IED program rather than the Ed.M. Anyone have any ideas on what the difference is?

easteregg Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 @smcg92 Do you mean the official difference? This is from the Teachers College website from the IED/CIE department: "The Ed.M., an advanced Masters degree, is almost 30 credits more than the M.A., and will therefore give a student more practical experience in a particular field (specialization). In the field of education, an Ed.M. is recognized as more advanced, and may possibly offer a higher salary. It may also give faculty a better understanding of students' abilities, especially for students who wish to pursue a doctorate after completing the Ed.M. requirements. Applicants to the Ed.M. degree must have an M.A. already. It is common for applicants to the Ed.D. and Ph.D. programs to be accepted first into the Ed.M. program." http://www.tc.columbia.edu/international-and-transcultural-studies/international-and-comparative-education/student-resources/faqs/ smcg92 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
