Overview
The M.Ed. Program is a 36-hour program specifically designed
for licensed or license eligible teachers.* The program consists of a

Courses are offered at convenient times for teachers, and some courses are
offered in alternative formats such as video-conferencing and Blackboard. The Professional Education Core is required for all graduate students.
Additionally, graduate students may choose to enroll in graduate coursework for re-certification, to provide greater specialization within one’s field, or to assist in professional advancement.
