MA/MS in Education, General

This graduate program is designed for working educators who want to take on leadership roles without leaving their classrooms. Participants keep building their careers while applying new ideas to daily teaching, curriculum work, or school administration. Calvin's graduate studies unit administers the program. Coursework is grounded in a Christian perspective that stresses service, justice, and inclusion. Learners choose a concentration in literacy, inclusion, leadership, or curriculum, which can lead to roles such as reading specialist, principal, or district leader. Study is offered in online and hybrid formats so that the schedule can fit around professional commitments. Classes emphasize practical application, so course material can be used in a classroom soon after it is learned. Students are encouraged to address complex issues within their own field of specialization, which makes the degree useful for educators at many stages of their careers.
