To be considered for admission to the Graduate Certificate (AIG licensure) Program, applicants must hold or be eligible for a North Carolina teaching license or its equivalent from another state.

Early Entry Program
Exceptional undergraduate students at UNC Charlotte may apply for the Early Entry Program and begin work toward the graduate degree before completion of the baccalaureate degree. See the Undergraduate Catalog for details and requirements. Also see the “Degree Requirements and Academic Policies” section of the Graduate Catalog for more information about Early Entry Programs.
Notes:
If accepted into the master’s degree program, a maximum of twelve (12) Graduate Certificate hours may be applied toward the M.Ed. AIG degree, to elective requirements in other Special Education M.Ed. majors, or to other UNC Charlotte M.Ed. programs, with the permission of the program’s Graduate Program Director and the student’s academic advisor. Admission to the Graduate Certificate program does not ensure admission into a master’s degree program. Applicants must take the GRE or MAT before applying to the Special Education master’s degree program in AIG. Applicants who previously have received a grade of A in three (if the fourth course is in progress at the time of application) or all four of the 4 Graduate Certificate courses in AIG at UNC Charlotte may waive the GRE/MAT requirement. Students who have received one or more course grades below A in UNC Charlotte graduate certificate courses in AIG are not eligible for this waiver and must provide GRE or MAT scores with their application to the M.Ed.
