This Master of Science in Education (MSEd) concentration is designed for educators interested in developing a customized course of study that reflects their personal career goals. This program is intended for students who already possess certification in their field or who do not require certification. There are two options for completing the degree requirements.
Option one allows educators to explore in-depth study in a particular area of specialization. It requires the following common core of courses, which are consistent with the core required in the other MSEd programs:
The remainder of the program includes a 15-credit concentration and nine credits of electives designed in consultation with the program adviser.
Option two allows students to combine two graduate certificates into a master's degree to meet their professional development goals. For example, educators interested in supporting gifted learners in an urban environment could combine the Urban Education and Gifted Education certificates. Those interested in leadership roles could combine Teacher Leadership with Data-Based Decision Making and Organizational Improvement.
Consult our full list of graduate certificate programs to see what combinations might appeal to you.
Option two includes a bridge capstone course, Seminar in Teacher Leadership (see 855.610 above), that ties together the two certificates. Students are advised to complete one certificate before starting the second.
