Course Sequence

The accelerated schedule begins in the summer and enables students to complete the entire program within a 12-month period. This path is ideal for students who intend to focus primarily on their graduate studies and who have completed all pre-requisites for the program.

Summer I

• EDU 510+25 hrs*
• EDU 656

Summer II

• FSA 510/515
• LIT 511

Fall

• EDU 512
• EDU 513

Spring

• Student Teaching
• EDU 690
• EDU 691
• EDU 698

*The hours refer to required field experience hours that will accompany EDU 510 and EDU 657.

The full-time schedule begins in the fall and enables students to maintain full-time enrollment (i.e., 9 credits or more) throughout the entire program and complete the program in less than 18 months. This path is ideal for students who have received a scholarship or grant that requires full-time enrollment. For more information about graduate funding opportunities and enrollment requirements, please contact our Financial Aid Office. Students needing to complete program pre-requisites may still be eligible to begin the full-time schedule.

These part-time schedules are ideal for graduate students with full-time employment and may be started in the fall, spring, or summer terms. When following one of these schedules, students will typically complete 2 courses at a time and can expect to complete the program in 18 – 24 months. To accommodate the working hours of most students, class times in the part-time schedule are always at 4:15pm or later. Students needing to complete program pre-requisites may still be eligible to begin the part-time schedules.
