Master’s Degree Programs
Secondary Education master’s degree programs provide coursework and professional experiences for those preparing to become master teachers, teacher-leaders, supervisors, or curriculum specialists. Each program provides coursework in education, with associated work in a specialized subject matter, which is the teacher’s area of concentration. Typically, the area of concentration derives from the teacher’s ongoing work with middle school or high school students.
Areas of concentration in Secondary Education include the following: Administration and Leadership (admission to A/SC program required); Gifted and Talented; English as a Second Language (MEd only); Second Language Teaching; English/Language Arts; Mathematics; Reading; Science; and Social Studies. Three University departments—Art, Management Information Systems, and Music—also participate in master’s degree programs sponsored by Secondary Education. Admission to these fields of study requires approval of the cooperating department. In planning areas of concentration, students work with a faculty advisor and select graduate courses from the University-wide curriculum. |
