Graduate Programs in Education

M.Ed. Program

The master’s degree programs in Elementary Education, Special Education-Learning Disabled and Special Education-Behaviorally/Emotionally Disabled are designed to serve individuals who already hold valid teaching licenses and wish to pursue a master’s degree.

The master’s degree programs represent a balance of courses distributed between 18 semester hours of professional studies and 18 semester hours of specialty studies. In teacher education programs, to which all candidates must be admitted, professional studies courses are the general core of shared courses taken by all candidates; specialty studies courses are the major area courses taken by candidates seeking licensure in a specific area.

Licensure Plus M.Ed. Program

The Licensure Plus M.Ed. Program is designed for individuals who have earned a bachelor’s degree who do not have a teaching license and want to obtain a Standard Professional License 1 in either elementary or special education.

This is a two-step program. The first step of Licensure Plus M.Ed. leads to the Standard Professional 1 license. The second step leads to the M.Ed. and advanced licensure.
