The Department of Teacher Education offers programs of graduate study designed to meet the academic and professional requirements of those involved in teaching, learning, and curriculum development.
Master's degree programs are offered in teacher education, including emphases in middle child education, reading, adolescent to young adult education, special education, mathematics education, and curriculum and instruction/learning. An initial teaching license may be pursued in the following areas: middle child, adolescent to young adult, or special education.
The doctoral program in teacher education is designed to prepare curriculum and instruction personnel to serve in schools, two-year community or technical colleges, and university settings. The Ph.D. program provides a common core of experiences. Areas of specializations include curriculum and instruction/learning, reading and language arts, social studies education, mathematics education, middle level education, and special education.
To pursue graduate study, you must meet established graduate entrance requirements and be accepted by the departmental graduate committee. Depending upon the grade-point average you earned as an undergraduate, you may be required to submit the results of the Graduate Record Examination (verbal and quantitative) or the Miller Analogies Test if you are applying for master's degree study. If you are applying for doctoral study, you must submit Graduate Record Examination (verbal and quantitative) or Miller Analogies Test scores.
Students not seeking a degree may pursue graduate courses on a non-degree basis in a planned professional development program.
You should arrange to complete the application process a month in advance of the term in which you plan to begin study, since you can take the Graduate Record Examination only on certain dates throughout the year. Submit your application for financial aid by March 15 to receive consideration for the following academic year.

Planning Graduate Programs of Study. Before or while completing the first 16 credit hours of graduate study, students must meet with their advisor to clarify personal and professional goals, which are to be written on Form A. Before completing 25 credit hours, students should plan a graduate program of study based on their professional goals. The graduate program of study is to be approved by the advisor who forwards it to the graduate committee for final approval. Any change in a graduate program of study must be approved by the advisor and the graduate committee and be filed with the student's original program of study.
Students must complete a minimum of 48 graduate hours of course work. The number of hours required is determined in consultation with their advisor and is based on previous experience and areas of preparation. A typical intervention specialist teacher license program is 57 hours for a person with a previous elementary teacher license or certification and it will require 82 hours for persons seeking their initial teacher license in a single area and 96 hours for a dual license. The typical non-license program of study totals 48 hours.
Requirements for Continuation. Students must maintain a 3.00 average to remain in the program.
