Bachelor's Degree
All students entering at the Master's level begin in the M.Ed. program. Candidates interested in pursuing an M.A. or M.S. degree can submit an application to the graduate committee once they've completed nine credit hours of departmental coursework. While the M.A. has an additional foreign language requirement, the M.S. and M.A. share identical degree criteria. Both the M.A. and M.S. programs offer more flexibility in curriculum planning, featuring reduced mandatory courses and fewer predefined specialization tracks. These programs emphasize academic rigor and research skill development, culminating in a thesis project. For those considering future doctoral studies, the M.A. or M.S. programs serve as excellent preparatory pathways.
