Degree Options
The graduate program offers three degree options for prospective students: a Post-Baccalaureate Licensure, a Master of Education (M.Ed.), or a Master of Education with Licensure.
1. Post-Baccalaureate Licensure
The Post-Baccalaureate program is specifically designed for students who have graduated with their bachelor degree and are seeking licensure to teach, but do not necessarily desire a master degree. The successful post-baccalaureate candidate in the licensure program should be able to draw upon his or her bachelor’s degree and life experience to enhance the ability to plan, teach, assess, reflect, and adapt.
2. Master of Education (M.Ed.)
The Master of Education is for students seeking a Master degree with an emphasis in a particular area of concentration.
The successful graduate candidate in the Master of Education program is able to apply practice, theory, leadership, research, and scholarship.
3. Master of Education with Licensure
The Master of Education with Licensure program is designed for students who desire both a Master degree and state-approved teaching licensure. The program consists of a mixture of required core courses and licensure courses. Regardless of licensure area, all M.Ed. students are required to take an introductory 1 unit class that introduces them to the M.Ed. program and requirements to prepare for and successfully complete the culminating experience. Concurrent first-semester enrollment in ED 702, Introduction to Research and Design is also required. Over the course of their graduate education, candidates will take additional licensure courses and complete field experience/Observation and Participation, Praxis exams, and student teaching requirements. During their final semester, students will take a culminating experience course to review and reflect on important concepts learned over the course of their graduate studies.
