Scheduling

During the academic year, classes are held in the late afternoons and evenings Monday through Friday as well as some Saturday mornings to coordinate with the schedule of working teachers. Faculty and staff work to accommodate juggling the demands of a challenging curriculum with your career and personal responsibilities. The M.Ed. with AIG is hybrid, with 70% coursework on-line, 30% coursework on-campus.

Specialized Tracks

Select the focus of your degree from five concentrations: elementary education, English as a Second Language (ESL) reading, special education (general curriculum), or academically and intellectually gifted (AIG). Add-on licensure is also available in the areas of ESL, reading, special education (general curriculum) or AIG. Current teachers interested in renewing a teaching license may take master’s level course work as a non-degree student.
