Please read through all of the following requirements for
both the SMTC and the UW admissions process
prior to submitting your application

SMTC Admissions Process - Printable Checklist

To be eligible for the MSNS Middle Level programs one must possess a current Teaching Certification and have 1 year of classroom teaching experience. UW Graduate Admissions requires a 3.0 Cumulative GPA for all undergraduate work and a composite score of 291 on the verbal and quantitative sections of the General GRE, based on the new scale (291 is the equivalent of a 900 - 450 verbal and 450 quantitative, on the old scale). The SMTC does accept an Alternative Portfolio instead of GRE scores with a score of 15 out of a possible 20.

The MSNS-NED program requires application and acceptance to the Teton Science School Professional Residency in Environmental Education program (TSS-PREE) prior to submitting an application to the SMTC. *NOTE: These applicants are not required to have a current teaching certification or one year of classroom teaching experience.
