Graduate Degrees in Curriculum & Instruction (C&I) with a Concentration in Secondary Education
Master of Education (M.Ed.) with Concentration in Secondary Education (CES)
The M. Ed. is designed for individuals who are certified and usually teach in a school subject area at the middle or high school level. This degree provides for advanced study. The primary objective is to prepare instructional leaders through courses in curriculum, methods, supervision, learning principles, human interaction, and areas of specialization. Professional studies receive greater emphasis in the M. Ed. programs than the M. A. program.
While students in the Secondary Education concentration emphasize one subject area (English Education or Foreign Language Education/ESOL or Instructional Technology or Mathematics Education or Science Education or Social Science Education), the Secondary Education concentration has a program of study different from the concentration in particular school subject areas.
