Graduate Program in Childhood Education, Sequence 1
The Department of Education offers programs leading to the Master of Science in Education (MSEd) in Childhood Education, Adolescence Education, Teaching of English to Speakers of Other Languages, Special Education Childhood (1-6), Special Education Adolescence Generalist (7-12), the Post-Master’s Advanced Certificate for Leadership in Education and the Post-Master's Advanced Certificate for Teaching of English to Speakers of Other Languages.
