Master of Education Core
The Master of Education (M.Ed.) degree begins with a set of core courses in education, followed by four concentration options – Educational Leadership, Literacy Instruction, Special Education, and Teaching and Learning. For each concentration an applied or research-based track is available. As noted in the previous section, the applied route focuses on coursework with opportunities for application through a practicum and an application project. The research route combines coursework and practicum with the addition of a full research-based project.
