Our nationally acclaimed master's program in reading education equips graduates to become reading specialists, literacy interventionists, or literacy coaches in K-12 schools and higher education institutions. The program caters to both practicing teachers seeking to enhance their classroom instruction and aspiring educators looking to deepen their expertise in fostering skilled readers and writers. Students gain comprehensive training in literacy theory alongside innovative, research-backed teaching methods, coaching strategies, and reading program administration. The curriculum includes hands-on practicum opportunities in literacy evaluation and intervention. Aspiring reading specialists must complete a portfolio defense and pass the Oklahoma Subject Area Test for Reading Specialists (OSAT), while non-certification candidates may opt for alternative capstone projects. Our doctoral program combines advanced coursework with original dissertation research, preparing graduates for academic positions at colleges and universities nationwide.
