Programs leading to the Master of Education degree are designed for individuals seeking to work as professional educators of children, youth, and adults. Many graduates seek employment in elementary and secondary schools. Some specializations are oriented toward business and community settings and prepare graduates to work in higher and adult education, social service agencies, corporate training centers, corporate fitness centers, community health centers, wellness/fitness centers, sports clubs, and outdoor/park recreational facilities.

Several programs offer opportunities for educator licensure or endorsements through the Ohio Department of Education. Others offer certificates for completing specialization sequences. All courses in the programs are offered in the late afternoon and evening in order to accommodate students who wish to maintain full-time employment. During the summer term, courses are offered on a full-day schedule to permit full-time study.
