The M.Ed. in Teaching and Learning is designed for individuals who currently hold initial certification in a teaching field, or who are interested in the Instructional Improvement Concentration which does not lead to teacher certification.

(Note: Individuals seeking initial certification and those who hold a non-renewable (NR) teacher certification, should pursue the M.A.T. degree requirements rather than the M.Ed. in Teaching and Learning.) For this M.Ed. degree program, a student selects one of six concentrations based on his/her educational background and career goals. Each concentration requires completion of a 36 hour program of study.

1. Complete requirements for a Bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution.
2. For Tracks 1-5, possess or be eligible for a Professional Level Four Certificate or equivalent in the certification field for which one is applying.
Persons may be admitted into the Special Education Emphasis/Track Three with Level Four Certification in a teaching field other than Special Education if prerequisite course work is completed. Emphasis/Track Six Instructional Improvement does not require teacher certification.
3. Present a cumulative 2.50 (4.0 scale) grade point average or higher on all undergraduate and graduate work combined.
4. Present official report of scores on the Miller Analogies Test (MAT) or the verbal, quantitative and analytical writing sections of the Graduate Records Examination (GRE).
5. Submit a personal statement of purpose, not to exceed 200 words, that identifies the applicant’s reasons for pursuing graduate study and how admission into the program relates to the applicant’s professional aspirations

Provisional: Applicants may be approved for provisional admission based on the quality of the admission material presented. Provisional students must earn grades of “B” or higher in their first nine (9) hours of course work after admission and meet any other stipulations outlined by the department to be converted to regular status.
