Frequently Asked Questions: How much does the program cost? The cost varies every year and it depends on how many courses you take every semester too. You can find out about the estimated cost of attendance at the Graduate School's website (grs.uncg.edu/financial/estimated-cost). Does it matter if I apply early? Yes. Your application is processed as soon as it is received. What if I just want to take a course or two? Do I have to enroll in a program? The VISIONS program is designed just for that purpose. If you need to renew a license, or if you wish to take a class in order to determine if you wish to apply to a program, or if you just have a love of learning, VISIONS may be the answer for you: http://grs.uncg.edu/visions/. How long does it take to complete my program? For most students, it depends on how many courses you choose to take each semester. Full-time teachers typically take 1-2 courses per semester. You can start the M.Ed., PB, or ESL add-on licensure programs in spring, summer, or fall semester. The MAT program is a cohort-based program that starts every summer.
