The Reading and Literacy Education program provides both a Master of Education (M.Ed.) and a Master of Arts in Education (M.A.E.) focused on reading instruction. These nationally recognized, top-tier programs are designed to assist current and aspiring educators in enhancing literacy skills for PreK-12 learners.
The curriculum maintains high academic standards while incorporating contemporary research, cutting-edge methodologies, and proven instructional approaches in literacy education. Students gain practical, research-backed teaching techniques while building expertise to foster language acquisition, literacy skills, and scholastic success in young learners. Both degree options offer flexible delivery through online or in-person formats, with most students finishing within 4-6 semesters.
The M.Ed. in Reading Education is a coursework-based program requiring 36 credit hours without a thesis component.
Course content aligns with professional standards established by leading educational authorities (including the International Literacy Association and Florida Department of Education). Participants must complete all 36 credit hours while maintaining a minimum 3.0 GPA throughout their studies.
