Message from the Dean of the School of Education and Human Development, Dr. Jan S. Stennette:
Thank you for your interest in our M.Ed. program. The master of education degree is designed to provide sound graduate professional study and professional certification around a body of knowledge common to several types of professional needs and interests.
Graduates employ their expertise in a variety of ways as teachers in the areas of elementary, middle, secondary, and special education; as school administrators; as school counselors; and as counselors in community agencies.
The counseling programs are accredited by the Council for Accrediting Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). Programs leading to teacher, administrator, and school counselor licensure are all approved by the Virginia Department of Education.
As the individual programs of study indicate, each advanced degree program has a unique set of objectives that match the desired professional role(s) for which its graduates are prepared.
For all programs, students must complete a program of thirty-six to forty-eight semester hours including core/foundation courses and the courses prescribed for the area of specialization.
