Masters of Arts in Education - Dual Endorsement
The changing needs of P-12 education require teachers able to address multiple student learning needs. Hence, the Master of Arts in Education - Dual Endorsement option enable interested teachers with the option to obtain two licensure endorsements that are embedded in the MAED. The endorsement choices are reading literacy, leadership, computer and technology, Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) and Grades 4/5. Core classes are customized to each individual student, with all candidates required to take EDF 601 Psychology of Learning, EDF 607 Research Methods, and EDF 701 Capstone. Based on the candidate's knowledge and background, individual candidates choose from the five other foundational core classes. Note: Current licensure, prior course work, and transcript review may dictate specific program options.
