English (7-12), MSEd

Students enrolling in Master of Science in Secondary Education programs will be assigned an advisor in the area of certification who will meet with and review the student’s background. Together, they will plan an appropriate program of graduate courses. This approved program is to be filed with the department during the first semester of attendance. The student may not depart from this approved program without permission of the advisor. Each academic area has its own course requirements. In general, students take about half of their program in the appropriate academic departments and half in education.
