PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Master's Degree in Secondary Education is designed for teachers (or prospective teachers) of children in grades 7-12.  The degree is rigorous, but flexible, allowing students to focus on particular areas of interest, such as English/language arts, science, mathematics, or social studies.

The Education Specialist and doctoral degrees (either Ed.D. or Ph.D.) are research-based degrees that prepare graduates for work in universities, colleges, school districts, and educational agencies.

OF SPECIAL INTEREST
LAMP is a popular master's degree program especially designed for students who hold the bachelor's degree in a field other than education. Students who go through LAMP earn licensure and a master's degree in secondary education at the same time. LAMP stands for Licensure & Alternative Master's Program.
