The Master of Arts in Education is a 36-credit-hour advanced degree program for educators who have teaching experience and hold a teaching certificate. The program is intended to help experienced teachers prepare for roles in educational and curricular leadership, curriculum development and in-service teacher professional development. Coursework focuses on academic content preparation; revising and assessing curricula; as well as developing, implementing and evaluating professional development programs for teachers. The M.A.E. produces teachers who are highly qualified in their content specialty areas.
All students seeking a degree through the Department of Education will be assigned an academic advisor. It is important for prospective students to meet as soon as possible with an advisor to develop a coordinated, long-range plan of study. Advising appointment books are available at the front desk in the department. For students seeking initial teacher certification, an undergraduate transcript analysis is required to determine specific content requirements needed to be taken in addition to the core course of the program.
All original application documents must be sent directly to the Graduate School at:
