The Specialist in Education degree is a professional degree, designed for those preparing for positions which call for a level of study and specialization beyond the master's degree. The specific goal is to provide the additional preparation needed for certification and competence in a specialized school position, in the role of college teacher, and by those engaged in student personnel work.  The 30-hour minimum requirement is a structured and unified program oriented toward the student's professional objectives. For selected students, planning for the specialist degree may begin following completion of the baccalaureate degree. For some students, the Specialist in Education degree may lead to advanced study for the doctorate.
