• Students who wish to complete a concentration in one of the disciplines normally taught at the secondary school level or to complete an additional endorsement, as part of a Master of Education degree, must already hold a professional teaching certificate or equivalent. Individuals without the teaching certificate will be considered for admission if their career goals are consistent with the programs of study. If the applicant does not have an acceptable background but desires to complete a specific content area, these deficiencies may be removed by completing courses for undergraduate credit.
  • Students planning to complete this program must complete 13 credits of core courses and 24 credits in a concentration, representing the student’s greatest interest. The Master of Education in Secondary Education degree requires a minimum of 37 credit-hours to complete. After completing thirteen (13) credit-hours of core courses, the student should complete candidacy and committee papers with the approval of the initial advisor. The student’s program should be planned with the advisor prior to selecting courses. The students completing the M.Ed. Secondary Education program are required to present a Professional Level Teaching Portfolio as part of the oral examination.
