Education Core

Secondary Teaching License (Grades 6-12)

Teaching of a Content or Special Area (for already licensed teachers)

Our online masters also provides maximum flexibility:

You can complete the degree in as few as four or five semesters (18 to 21 months).

Because the GRE is not required, you can apply sooner and begin learning.

If you don’t have a teaching license and want to teach junior high or high school, you’ll want to choose the secondary teaching license concentration.

You can begin with the Transition to Teaching for Secondary Education and take four additional courses to also earn the Master’s in Secondary Education. (Half of our students follow this plan.)

Add additional credentials to your résumé by earning graduate certificates in diversity, curriculum, middle level education, and educational technology – with no additional courses.
