The program follows a blended delivery model that combines face-to-face and online activities in each course. Face-to-face meetings are held on evenings or weekends to accommodate employed students.Two degree routes are available. In the MA route, students complete course work and write and defend an original research-based thesis with supportive guidance by a faculty member. In the M.Ed. route, students take the same courses as MA students but, in place of the thesis, complete a comprehensive examination based on the course material.
