The M.Ed. is a 30 credit hour program with 13-16 core credit hours comprised of COE and Exceptional Education courses. The remaining credits are split between a selected concentration and electives that meet specific individual needs and career objectives.
The M.Ed. includes field experiences integrated into courses, which may occur as a formal placement by the university or as a result of supervised employment. All candidates complete a final portfolio OR an action research project, which serves as their comprehensive assessment.
This program is not designed to meet Virginia requirements for initial teacher licensure or endorsement. However, depending on the concentration selected, the M.Ed. can lead to an endorsement in gifted education provided the individual already holds a valid Virginia teaching license or a certificate in autism.
