Applicants' academic qualifications and relevant work experience are very important for applying for graduate students majoring in education in American universities. Undergraduate students majoring in education will have more advantages in application, and non-education students will also increase their competitiveness if they have relevant work experience. Each research direction of pedagogy has different requirements for applicants, and the application materials should meet the requirements of the school. The more you know about the major, the clearer the requirements for the school and the greater the success rate of admission. In the process of applying, we can only see our own situation, and we don't really know the students who apply for the same school, and we don't have a clear understanding of our competitiveness. According to our previous application experience, there are some aspects that need attention.

Pedagogy also has advantages for interdisciplinary applicants, such as students in management, economics and social sciences. If the applicant has experience in education management, he can apply for postgraduate education management. It will be more difficult for international students to apply for teaching direction. The direction of psychology requires students to have educational background in psychology and sociology. Linguistics is a popular choice for students majoring in English or other languages. Educational technology direction, if you have a computer-related background, will be very suitable.

Pedagogy majors still have high requirements for students' application, especially for language. Every year, many students apply for cross-majors, so it is very beneficial to educate students with relevant undergraduate backgrounds.
