Direct Pathway into Teaching

Mentorship and Support through Early Career

For the first time, the Marsal School now offers first-year direct admission into the Educator Preparation Program (EPP). This means you can dive into your teaching journey from day one, connect with a network of students with interests similar to yours, and receive specialized academic and career advising.

EPP graduates have a unique opportunity to become teaching residents—paid roles within Detroit Public Schools Community District, supported onsite by U-M faculty and mentor teachers for three additional years at no cost. This support system mirrors medical residencies and is unique in education.

APPLICATION DEADLINES Early Decision

Early Action

Regular Decision

Early Decision is a new option appropriate for students who are committed to attending U-M if they are admitted. If admitted to U-M through Early Decision, students must withdraw applications to all other colleges and universities.

The Early Action option is best for students who are prepared to apply early and are interested in receiving an admissions decision early, but are still considering their college options.

The Regular Decision option is the standard nonbinding application plan. Applying as a Regular Decision applicant provides students more time to complete their application and collect the required materials.
