Admission for Current UVA Undergrads

General Education Requirements

The School of Education and Human Development has a different set of general studies requirements than the College of Arts and Sciences, though there is a lot of overlap. Use this information to plan your coursework. These general education requirements are specific to the B.S.Ed. in Speech Communication Disorders, the B.S.Ed. in Kinesiology, and the B.S.Ed. in Youth and Social Innovation programs.

UVA EHD and the College of Arts and Sciences share the same requirements for first and second writing. Additional courses, including Engagements and Forums, transfer as general electives. Although they do not satisfy general education requirements, they count toward the 120 credits required for the degree.

General Education Requirements

Applicants for the B.S.Ed. in Early Childhood Education program, the B.S.Ed. in Elementary Education program, and B.S.Ed. in Special Education program must be on track to complete the Teacher Education general studies requirements, which are more specific than those of the College or other majors at the School of Education and Human Development. If you are applying as a rising third-year, although you do not need to have all requirements done, you should be nearly finished with these requirements when you apply.

Additional Details about Content Studies Requirements:

• Advanced Placement (AP) credit may be applied toward these requirements if UVA awarded course credit.
• Coursework taken at another institution can be counted toward these requirements but must appear on the UVA transcript.

All applicants must demonstrate good academic progress:

• Cumulative undergraduate GPA: 2.7
• Students who do not have a GPA of 2.7 at the time of their application may be considered for admission based a record of improvement over time.
