Professional Application — UMD College of Education
Overview
The University of Maryland College of Education administers a Professional Teacher Education program designed for individuals preparing for careers in education. The application process is conducted electronically, and the program maintains two annual admission deadlines: May 1 and December 1, each at 11:59pm. Applicants are advised to consult their advisor to determine which deadline applies to their intended program. This is not a residency, exhibition, or publication opportunity. It is an academic admissions process for a professional degree program in teacher education. The primary material requested is a curriculum vitae, though additional requirements may be specified by the individual program or advisor. There is no application fee listed, and no prize or funding information is provided in the available materials. Artists and creative practitioners considering a transition into teaching should note that this program is housed within a college of education, not a fine arts or humanities department. The curatorial vision is therefore pedagogical rather than exhibitionary: the program prepares candidates for classroom practice and educational leadership, not for studio or publishing careers. Those seeking opportunities to develop creative work should look elsewhere; those seeking formal teacher certification or a graduate degree in education may find this relevant.
