MA/MS in Education, General

The Master of Arts in Education serves practicing educators who want advanced study. Apart from the teaching master's, Marshall's graduate education programs do not lead to initial West Virginia licensure, so students seeking it should talk to advisors early. The catalog describes several areas of emphasis within the degree. Applicants follow the graduate admissions process and any additional requirements listed for master's degree programs in education. Details on required courses, culminating experiences and admission procedures are listed in the graduate catalog. Prospective students should review those sections, contact the program coordinator with questions about fit and timing, and submit the application through the graduate admissions office before beginning coursework. Faculty advisors can help students fit the program around work and family schedules, and program staff can explain how the requirements apply to individual situations.
