Program Overview

Elementary Education, MEd

The Master of Education program in elementary education prepares students to start a career in working with students in grades K--8. It is designed for individuals who do not need to obtain teacher certification. The program builds on connections between educational design and decision-making and is designed to foster strong professional growth and leadership development.


Program Description

Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College faculty actively engage in the educational research community, bringing new and relevant knowledge into the program. Students engage in their own research through applied project coursework, deepening their knowledge and improving their practice through research, critical evaluation, and application of education concepts. The program culminates in an action research project in which students apply what they have learned to address a challenge in education.
