Masters Degree

As part of the Inclusive Elementary Educators Program, students complete a master’s core of courses (12 credits beyond initial licensure) and a capstone experience that leads to earning a Master of Science or Master of Arts degree. The M.A. degree requires a demonstrated proficiency in one or more foreign languages. Foreign langrage proficiency is not required for the M.S. degree.

To earn a master’s degree, a student must complete a capstone experience, choosing between the completion of a Master’s Research Project or a Master’s Thesis. In addition to the completion of a written product the student must present his/her project/thesis to the faculty. Students are required to enroll in 6 credits of Special Project (SPED 506) course work during the last term of the program while completing the capstone experience.
