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.
