GRADUATE PROGRAMS
DEPARTMENT OF CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION

Graduate programs offered through the Department of Curriculum and Instruction include the Master of Arts in Education Degree with options in Elementary Education, Library Science, Middle Grade Education, Secondary Education, Gifted and Talented Education, Reading/Writing, and the Master of Arts in Teaching with options in Elementary Education,  Middle Grade Education, and Secondary/P-12 Education.  Students admitted to these programs must meet the general requirements of the Graduate School and specific college and department requirements.

In addition, graduate Rank II and Rank I non-degree programs are offered in Elementary Education, Library Science, Middle Grade Education, and Secondary Education.  Rank II non-degree programs in these four areas may be selected for continuation of certification.  Admission to Rank I programs requires completion of a Master's Degree or Rank II non-degree program.

Candidates in all programs set personal/professional goals related to the Experienced Teacher Standards, the New Teacher Standards for the M.A.T. or the AASLC standards for Library Science programs.  These goals are identified in a Professional Improvement Plan (Master's Degree and Rank II), a Continuing Professional Improvement Plan (Rank I), or a Professional Development Plan (M.A.T.)  Candidates develop a portfolio including entries demonstrating their accomplishment of goals throughout their program.  This portfolio plays a significant role in a student's exit assessment for the program.
