Program Overview
There are two pathways for completing the degree requirements for this program. One pathway allows students to undertake in-depth study in a particular area of specialization. The second pathway allows students to combine two graduate certificates into a master’s degree to meet their professional development goals.
Prospective students planning to apply to the individualized, interdisciplinary MS in Ed Studies program should consult with a program adviser about which pathway best meets their needs before they apply.
Prospective students planning on completing one or two graduate certificates as part of their program of study should apply for admission into the certificate(s) at the same time they apply to the master’s program. As part of the application process, applicants must write an essay describing how the program will contribute to their future plans. The essay for admission into the two-certificate pathway must address how the certificates will work together to foster the prospective student’s future plans, and admission to the master’s program is contingent upon admission to the two certificates. Students interested in the two-certificate pathway must apply for admission into the master’s program before starting the second certificate.
