Programs in Education

There are two tracks in the Master of Education (M.Ed.) program: Track I, the post-baccalaureate initial teacher licensure program with an M.Ed. option, and Track II , the M.Ed. for practicing teachers who already possess initial licensure and are seeking professional development, license renewal, or an added teaching endorsement.

The certificate programs are for students that possess a Master's degree and want to increase their knowledge on a particular field of study. The M.Ed. program is designed to be broad in scope and flexible enough to meet the needs of adult learners, with courses offered in the evenings and on weekends.
