The Learning Experience

The Master of Arts in Education degree offers two tracks, the leadership track and the reading track. Both tracks involve the same core and research-based classes and culminate in a research thesis or project. The leadership track is geared towards those who want to pursue administrative roles in education, including those who want to obtain principal licensure. The reading track is geared toward those who are committed to supporting students鈥� reading development in a range of capacities, and is ideal for those who have already completed their Reading Endorsement. As an MA in Education student, you will network with classmates and faculty and learn new skills and insights through:

  • Synchronous and Asynchronous discussions
  • Hands-on research
  • Team projects
  • Highly experienced faculty

Requirements

Principal licensure is an additional accreditation geared towards experienced educators interested in the administrative side of education. Those who wish to pursue the principal licensure have multiple pathways. If you already have a Master鈥檚 degree and would like to simply add licensure, you can transfer in the required leadership courses and complete two additional principal licensure courses. If you have not completed the required leadership courses, we offer those as an option separate from 性视界鈥檚 Master鈥檚 degree.

If you do not yet have a Master鈥檚 degree, the two principal licensure courses can be completed at the conclusion of the 性视界 Master鈥檚 of Arts in Education degree. Students selecting this option should complete the Master鈥檚 degree with a leadership focus.

NOTE: Principal licensure requires a Master鈥檚 degree, a current professional teaching license and at least two years of experience as a classroom teacher. Alternatively, candidates could hold a Master鈥檚 degree, professional pupil services license, and two years of related work experience. All licenses and work experience should be in the same grade band for which you pursue principal licensure.
