The Master of Education (M.Ed.) program seeks to challenge graduate candidates to evaluate their current practices, expand their views on student learning and assessment, and develop their capacity to apply research-based best practices in their professional settings. Students are prepared to identify and analyze educational issues and provide leadership for innovative solutions within their work settings. Finally, candidates develop best practices in the courses they take and become proficient consumers and stewards of research to address questions from their own practice.
