Candidates for the M.Ed. degree must meet certain undergraduate and graduate requirements in the teaching area. Since these requirements vary by program area, it will be necessary for the student to plan with an advisor in the program area. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that all requirements (both undergraduate and graduate) have been met. Each department will provide the candidates with a list of requirements upon request.
Course Numbers, Load and Schedule
Courses numbered 5000/6000/7000 and above are open only to graduate students.
The university makes every effort to maintain the schedule of courses as announced in its bulletin. However, the university reserves the right to withdraw courses, change instructors, or change the schedule of classes at any time without previous announcement.
All students should beware of enrolling in courses that they have previously taken. The final responsibility for non-duplication of courses rests with the student.
