Bachelor's Degree
All students entering at the Master's level begin in the M.Ed. program. Those interested in pursuing either an M.A. or M.S. degree can submit an application to the graduate committee upon finishing nine credit hours of departmental coursework. While the M.A. has a foreign language requirement, the M.A. and M.S. share identical degree criteria otherwise. Both the M.A. and M.S. programs offer more flexibility in curriculum planning, featuring fewer mandatory courses and more open specialization options. These programs emphasize academic rigor and research skill development, concluding with a thesis requirement. For students considering future doctoral studies, the M.A. or M.S. programs serve as excellent preparatory pathways.
