Program Requirements Certified secondary teachers may pursue a master of arts in education degree in secondary education with an emphasis in secondary education or in any of the following concentrations: biology, chemistry or English.

 

The master of arts in education degree in secondary education offers the candidate the advanced professional and specialty knowledge needed for informed and wise practice as a secondary teacher and educational leader. The program strengthens the certification areas and enriches the candidate’s background related to students with special needs in general placements, the multi-varied nature of secondary students’ backgrounds, and other factors relevant in adapting secondary instruction and curricula to all students.
