Graduate
The Division of Education offers eight master’s degree programs: Elementary or Secondary Education (initial licensure), Elementary Education (endorsement), Special Education (initial licensure), Special Education (endorsement), Reading, General Education, and Secondary Education (non-licensure). The programs are designed to offer students opportunities to gain knowledge about the field of education, acquire research and curriculum development skills, and, for initial licensure candidates, develop teaching and assessment skills. Each area has specific admission requirements in addition to the general requirements for acceptance into the graduate program. Courses for each program are scheduled on a full-time basis of 9 to 12 credits for each fall, spring, and summer season. Full-time study generally allows students to complete their graduate program over a period of four to six semesters depending on the specific credit requirements of a program. Students who cannot attend on a full-time basis plan their program of studies using the scheduled sequence of courses over an extended period of time.
