The School of Teacher Education and Leadership (TEAL) offers a Master in Elementary Teaching (MET) degree that is designed for persons seeking educator licensing following a previous undergraduate degree. The MET (Plan C) degree is available for students both at the Logan campus and at Statewide Campuses. The basic elements of the MET coursework option include completion of 33 credits in an approved program of study. An additional 30 credits of coursework may be necessary to meet licensure requirements of the Utah State Board of Education (USBE).
