Campus MEd Degree Requirements

The master’s degree program requires at least 33 credit hours. Students enrolled in the master of education take a four-hour comprehensive exam at the end of the program.

Please note, the master of arts (MA) is the preferred degree for students who intend to pursue a doctor of philosophy. Master’s students must have completed or plan to complete 15 hours of prerequisite course work. The prerequisite course work is over and above that required for the master’s degree itself and, thus, cannot be counted on the program of study for the master’s degree. Many students will have completed these prerequisites in their undergraduate programs.
