Access the online application on our main site and create an account. Once logged in, the online portal will walk you through the steps to complete your application.

Please submit ALL official college/university transcripts. To be considered official, transcripts must be mailed – either electronically or as a paper copy – directly from the college/university attended to the Baldwin Wallace office of admission.

Electronic transcripts should be sent to admit@bw.edu.

Paper copies should be sent to:
Admission Office
Baldwin Wallace University
275 Eastland Road
Berea, OH 44017

The admission committee recommends a GPA of 3.0 or above. Exceptions may be considered.

Candidates who have attended foreign institutions must provide BW with English translated documents and a course-by-course evaluation from World Education Services (WES).

Using the recommendation form within the online applicant portal, please provide two recommendations from principals, supervisors, teachers or other persons qualified to evaluate your background and potential to pursue a program of graduate study.

Teachers currently working within Partner School Districts are only required to submit one recommendation.

Once your application has been submitted, the admission committee will check with the Ohio Department of Education to verify each applicant’s certificate or licensure history.

When applying for admission as a graduate student to BW School of Education teacher licensure programs, candidates are asked whether they have ever been found guilty of a misdemeanor or felony that was not expunged or sealed. Candidates with a criminal record that has not been expunged or sealed may not be eligible for admission to the teacher licensure programs at Baldwin Wallace University. If you are already a licensed teacher, please note that an expunged or sealed record may impact a teacher’s eligibility to qualify for an Ohio teaching license following completion of the program. Eligibility for a teaching license varies by state and may be assessed on a case-by-case basis by the professional teacher licensing board in that state.

BW School of Education verifies that students have a clear Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCII) report and a clear Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) report. Forms and details will be provided to all students who qualify for admission to the program. Once enrolled, students must have the same clear reports prior to any school observation, field experience or clinical practice assignment. Although students with an expunged record may be eligible for enrollment and to participate in school placements in BW’s Education programs, an expunged or sealed record may impact a student’s eligibility to qualify for an Ohio teaching license following completion of the program. Eligibility for a teaching license varies by state and may be assessed on a case-by-case basis by the professional teacher licensing board in that state.
