Online Hybrid Master Of Science In Education Program Continues To Grow!

The new Online Hybrid MSE Concentration in Secondary Education has attracted significant attention from interested 7-12 grade teachers. The special features of this model are outlined below.

  • 31-unit program includes face-to-face and 100% WEB coursework.
  • Program begins with a required 1-unit prerequisite course orientation on a Saturday in August.
  • Coursework sequence includes five semesters: fall (face-to-face), spring (WEB), summer (WEB), fall (face-to-face), spring (WEB). (Middle school math students have fewer online classes.) *Though fall courses will be delivered primarily through face-to-face instruction, approximately 30% of each fall course will be offered via web-based instruction.
  • Students move through the program as a cohort.

Master's Degree
SECONDARY EDUCATION
 

This program is designed to help career secondary classroom teachers upgrade their skills, become informed about new ideas in secondary teaching, and prepare for curriculum leadership roles in public and private schools.

Our graduate programs build upon teacher preparation in the Single Subject Preliminary Credential Program. Whereas coursework in the credential program focuses on knowledge and skills necessary for a beginning secondary teacher, graduate programs allow students to extend their knowledge and deepen their skills in curriculum design, instructional and assessment strategies, integration of technology, and reflective practice. Our programs orient students to the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. The NBPTS certification is consistent with contemporary best practice in the profession.
