• Abilene Christian University offers a Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Teaching and Learning with two different tracks: an Initial Certification track and a Master Reading Teacher track. Both are cohort based, fostering professional learning communities.
  • The fifth-year Initial Certification track, designed for high-performing teacher candidates, allows you to begin graduate-level courses in your final undergraduate semester at ACU. You will participate in a year-long clinical teaching placement in high-needs schools and classrooms, and you will leave equipped to meet the needs of diverse student populations.
  • The Master Reading Teacher track is designed for current classroom teachers with at least two years of teaching experience whose teaching assignment includes literacy instruction. This program will prepare teachers for certification as Master Reading Teachers in the state of Texas.
