Master of Education
Program Overview
The mission of the Master of Education Online Program is to apply current research on teaching, learning, and system change to prepare Master Teachers for PK-12 classrooms.
Our graduates are leaders who possess expertise in the content area in which they teach and in the pedagogy of teaching and learning. Moreover, they apply this knowledge in their own classrooms, modeling best practices in instruction and assessment.
