[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this for masters or PhD?  I would think for PhD the research conducted and the proposal would matter most. [/quote]

GRE is taken for both though not all programs require it.  One of the reasons education majors score relatively low is that many states require every teacher to get a master's degree so it's not a select population like the other majors.  The amount of people choosing to do a master's/PhD in philosophy or art history are usually very small and very talented.[/quote]

That might have something to do with it, but education majors have below average SAT scores as well.  It’s one of the lowest scoring mainstream degree.[/quote]

It's usually the states with the weakest education systems that historically have education undergraduate majors though.  If you're going to teach MS or HS, you major in biology or history or whatever you are going to teach and then take supplemental coursework to get your teaching license.[/quote]
