Master's Education with Certification
The M.Ed with certification is a program that allows candidates to earn a Master’s degree and teacher certification simultaneously. The program includes graduate courses in educational foundations, special education, literacy, English Language Learners and content specific learning and teaching courses. The core values of the M.Ed. program center around preparing candidates to teach in urban or rural school settings. During the program, candidates participate in field placements and a full semester of student teaching in urban or rural schools. Accepted candidates can start this program in either the fall or spring semester and will develop a plan of study with their graduate advisor that best suits their needs.
Candidates are expected to have a Bachelor's degree in the certification content area to begin the program. Any candidates who do not have a major or minor in the certification area they are seeking should contact the Department Chair to conduct a transcript review.
