The MEd hybrid cohort program is a 33 credit hour program designed to extend and expand on your level of professional competence beyond what you attained at the bachelor's level. In this program, you will be brought up to date on the master's level information relevant to your field of specialization, stimulate you in reading and understanding research and preparing you for leadership roles.
You will enter and move through the program as a hybrid cohort, engaging in current research related to individual interests. A majority of your coursework, including instructional and assessment, will be done online through Canvas and Watermark, though a portion of the program will be conducted face-to-face. This will provide you with an opportunity for collaboration and group work. You will be expected to complete learning modules and required discussions by specified dates.
We also offer the option of meeting with our faculty up to three times per semester at times and location most convenient for you. These times will not include lectures. Instead, these specialized meetings will provide you with an opportunity to build relationships with your professors and to have your questions answered on a one-on-one basis.
As this is a master's degree program, you should have already completed and earned your Bachelor's degree, preferably in a field related to education.
