MA/MS in Education, General

This Master of Arts for teachers has emphases in curriculum and instruction and in literacy education, and it is aimed at working teachers who want to deepen their practice and apply research-based methods. The program can be completed fully online so teachers keep their jobs while studying. Further specializations include English as a second language and early childhood special education, and the degree can lead into national board certification, which satisfies the capstone. The program is delivered online, on the Laramie campus and in a hybrid form. Graduate students at the University of Wyoming work closely with faculty advisors, and the program is designed to prepare them for professional practice, further study or research careers. Prospective students should review the department's application steps and talk with potential advisors early, since the match between a student's interests and faculty expertise influences the experience and the funding options. Information requests and campus visits can be arranged through the program page.
