MASTER OF SCIENCE DEGREE in EDUCATION

 
 

 

The Master of Science in Education program is intended as a general degree, applicable to teachers across the P-12 spectrum.  Program admission requires completion of an initial teacher education program, two years of teaching experience, and employment as a classroom teacher while enrolled in the program.  The 36-hour curriculum for this master’s degree includes four sections: Foundations, which principally addresses the areas of child development, assessment, diversity, and community relations/leadership; Technology, which includes training in multimedia and electronic portfolio development; Inquiry, which requires a culminating action research project conducted within students’ real worlds of schools and classrooms; and an Area Concentration, in which students complete curriculum and instruction-related courses and content courses on the basis of individual licensure focus (i.e., early childhood, elementary, or secondary education).  Fieldwork is an important element of this curriculum, and will be integrated throughout the program within the context of specific courses.  This redesigned master’s program will utilize a cohort approach, will follow a moderately intensive 24-month completion time line, and will include a variety of course delivery vehicles, such as on-and off-campus meetings, online courses, hybrid courses, two-and three-week summer intensive courses, etc.
