Master of Education: Program of Study
Prior to admission to the M.Ed. program and
registration for courses, it is the students'
responsibility to become familiar with program
requirements and to confer with assigned faculty
advisors to develop programs of study. The program of
study identifies core courses, courses in the specific
tracks students will follow, recommended electives, and
a capstone experience. Advisors must approve students'
programs of study. Program changes must also be approved
by advisors.

Course Requirements
Students seeking the M.Ed. at SU complete an
approved program of study including at least 33 semester hours
of graduate credit with a cumulative average of 3.0 of higher,
with no grade lower than a C, and no more than six credit hours
of C or C+ work in their program.
The M.Ed. program consists of nine credit hours
of core courses, 12-15 hours of study in a specific track, six
to nine hours of electives and three to six hours in a capstone
experience.
M.Ed. Tracks
|
- Early Childhood Education
- Elementary Education
- Middle/Secondary Education (with an emphasis in
English, mathematics, music, science or social
science education)
- Post-Secondary Education
- Teaching and Learning with Technology

Specific electives may be offered for each
track. Accordingly, students consult with their advisors to
determine appropriate electives for their area of study. When
appropriate to the area of study, electives may be chosen from
education courses, special topics courses or from graduate
courses offered in programs outside of education.
The M.Ed. program culminates with a capstone
experience selected from advanced seminars, internships, thesis
research or practicum courses. Each track allows choices for the
capstone experience. Students plan an appropriate capstone
experience in consultation with their advisor.
Students who elect the thesis research option
enroll in EDUC 630: Directed Research and submit the completed
project to the project director. Students must also
satisfactorily complete an oral examination on the project which
is scheduled through the faculty advisor after completion of the
project.
