Courses
All of the Accelerate Programs (both Professional Certificates and Masters Programs) in the School of Education require students to complete a specific set of classes. The course requirements range from 3-7 specific concentration courses along with internship and portfolio courses.
All M.Ed. students must also complete the 4 core classes.
All M.Ed. students the EDUC 522 Transformation of Learning & Teaching should be taken as your first class.
Internships & Portfolios
All of our programs require a field experience (e.g., internship or practicum) and portfolio course. The length and type of field experiences vary across programs (e.g., Library Media requires 2 sessions and Principal Certificate requires 6 sessions).
The complementary Portfolio Course allows students to reflect and synthesize their internship and courses experiences.
Comprehensive Exams
All of the Master’s in Education programs require students to synthesize knowledge in a comprehensive degree course. The purpose of the Comprehensive Examination is to assess knowledge and understanding of specified core courses and evaluate whether students are academically prepared for their role in education.
While there is some variety, most exams consists of three (3) academic papers to be submitted during weeks 2, 3, and 4 during a 6-week session.
