Master of Education Mission & Vision

Master of Education Program Vision

The Master of Education is a highly flexible and mobile degree that is responsive to the needs of the university and the communities served. As its constituencies evolve, the staff and faculty will collaborate within and across programs and colleges to create and facilitate quality, rigorous programming and curriculum that remain steadfast to our mission but continuously reflect the needs of the campus, the system and the region.

Master of Education Mission

The Master of Education is a professional degree for teachers and those who work in health sciences, social services, academic areas across higher education and Pre-K to 12, community education, and business or industry.  Professional development is achieved through critical reflection, investigation, and application of theory and research to practice in communities.  The curriculum is based on the work done as teachers, leaders, and change agents in formal, non-formal, and community-based settings.
