The Master of Education program in secondary education prepares you to start a career working with students in grades 6-12, if you do not need teacher certification. The program builds on connections between educational design and decision-making and is designed to foster strong professional growth and leadership development. Faculty members actively engage in the educational research community, bringing new and relevant knowledge into the program. You engage in your own research through applied project coursework, deepening your knowledge and improving your practice through research, critical evaluation and application of education concepts. The program culminates in an applied action research project in which you apply what you've learned to address a challenge in education. The master's degree doesn't lead to teacher certification. If you are interested in certification, you should enroll in the MEd program in secondary education with a concentration in teacher certification, or in the teacher certification graduate certificate program.
