IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN OUR ON-CAMPUS, TRADITIONAL PROGRAM, CONTACT DEBBIE.FARR@UNT.EDU.

 THANK YOU!

Thank you for your interest in Project DART!   This Federal Grant allows us to admit up to 25 students each Fall semester who are currently teaching or will be teaching in a rural school district or educational program in Texas.   You may apply for either the Master’s Degree Program in Autism Intervention or the Graduate Academic Certificate (GAC) in Autism Intervention.  For detailed course information, please e-mail debbie.farr@unt.edu or access it on our website at www.coe.unt.edu/educational-psychology/autism . The Master’s degree program requires no less than 36 hours (12 courses) and the GAC requires 18 hours (6 courses).   Successful applicants will be required to take two courses per semester, including summers, in order to be funded through the grant.  Some adjustments can be made in course scheduling for extenuating circumstances.  For those students accepted into the program, signed agreement forms will be required.

Please be aware that this application will require you to:

• Upload your current résumé in PDF format or rich text format.
• Upload a copy of a signed letter from your school’s principal or Special Education Director in PDF format.  Please download the form below to give to them.  Please instruct your Principal or Director to print the form on letterhead and to sign and date it.  Please have them scan it back to you so that you can upload it into your application. 
• You will also need to upload an additional letter of recommendation from someone who can speak to your abilities as a potential graduate student.  The letter of recommendation needs to be on letterhead and a signature is required.

All categories marked with an asterisk will be required fields; otherwise you will not be able to submit the form.

Please note that the deadline for application for admission to the Fall, 2009 semester is:
