Master's Degrees and Endorsements
The college offers the master of education degree. The degrees of master of arts and education and master of science and education are offered in collaboration with the College of Arts and Sciences.
Education Specialist
Education specialist (Ed.S.) degree programs are advanced graduate programs that provide students an area of educational specialization with emphasis on practice.
Doctoral Degree Programs (Ph.D. & Ed.D.)
The college offers a doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) degree or a doctor of education (Ed.D.) degree, depending on the program. The Ph.D. is a research- oriented degree, whereas the Ed.D. is a practitioner-oriented degree. Because doctoral programs are long and complex, students are encouraged to discuss a prospective program with appropriate faculty prior to submitting an application.
