The Education Specialist (Ed.S.) certification programs in teaching aim to enhance professionals' expertise by building upon their master's-level knowledge, skills, and competencies within their specific teaching discipline. These Class AA certification programs exclusively accept 6000-level or higher coursework, with no overlap permitted between master's and specialist-level certification requirements. Each degree program maintains its own distinct admission and completion criteria.
