Teaching of English EdM

The Ed. M. degree is a research-based Master’s program well suited for current teachers who wish to delve into a deeper study of English Education and/or are considering Doctoral work. This advanced Master's program is a flexible degree allowing students to select, in consultation with a faculty advisor, an array of courses that facilitate their intellectual and professional goals. The 60 points are designed for students to explore their interests widely through in and out of department electives, and intensely through English Education specific literature and research courses. The culminating research paper entails work that results in an original synthesis of a broad reading of theory and research. The Ed.M often acts as a precursor to the Ed.D or Ph.D programs.
