Program Description
The Master of Science/Art in Education program is designed for students who are already licensed to teach. If you are seeking initial teacher licensure, please refer to the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) section. If you already possess a Master's degree and are only seeking a Continuing Teaching License (CTL), please refer to the CTL section.
The purpose of the Master in Education (M.Ed.) program is to provide the student with a strong graduate level course of study related to the field of education by fostering scholarship, instructional excellence, cross cultural sensitivity, and professional leadership. Key to our program is an emphasis on educational leadership within the classroom, the school district, the broader community, and the profession as a whole.
The program has been specifically designed to meet Oregon's Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC) requirements for Continuing Teaching License (CTL). This curriculum will also meet the Standard Teaching License requirements.
The M.Ed. program requires at least 45 credits of graduate study. The program may be completed either on a full-time or part-time basis. Courses are offered via distance learning during the academic year and on the Ashland campus during summer term. The program consists of four major elements:
Core Competency areas (18 credits)
Field-based Practica (6 credits)
Endorsement/Option Area Coursework (15 credits)
Graduate Electives (6 credits)
