Online Master of Education
The Online Master of Education Program at the University of St. Thomas is designed to develop school leaders and master classroom teachers in special education and dual language. This program is funded by a U.S. Department of Education Title V grant.
The grant will offer two options for students seeking a master’s degree in education (MEd):
- A complete online MEd, or
- A hybrid’s master’s degree that combines online classes with traditional face-to-face classes.
The degree specialties that will be offered online are:
- Educational Leadership
- Special Education
- Dual Language Instruction*
- Curriculum and Instruction
- Generalist
*Dual Language Instruction to begin in Fall 2012.
In addition the grant will fund scholarships for need-based students in the second through fifth years of the grant.
The first step in funding graduate school is to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). One cannot apply for, or receive, any financial aid from any institution of higher education without completing this form. Don't wait to be accepted to a graduate program to complete the FAFSA - apply early, while you are submitting your applications. Learn more about the FAFSA and apply: www.fafsa.gov
M.Ed. Requirements
General requirements for the master of education degree include 36 credit hours of graduate level courses, and a minimum of two years of field experience.
All degree plans must include three specific core courses (9 credit hours) designed to provide the academic foundations necessary for interpretation and application of educational research (EDUC 6320, 6321, 5303).
