It is the purpose of the graduate program in education to prepare master teachers for
elementary and secondary school classrooms, and to provide competent personnel for
roles as school administrators, school supervisors, educational diagnosticians, reading
specialists, and school counselors. To this end, graduate programs in education are
offered in the following areas of educational activity:
* The Elementary Teacher * The Educational Diagnostician
* The Secondary Teacher * The Reading Specialist
* The School Supervisor * The School Administrator and
* The School Counselor Superintendent
The student may work toward the Master of Science degree in education or the
Master of Education degree. Most of the programs lend themselves more readily to the
Master of Education pattern.
The programs are planned to prepare students, as far as possible, for Texas public
school certification. The student should understand, however, that professional certification
assumes an undergraduate preparation leading to the provisional certificate. If a
student wishes to work toward a Master's degree in education and a certificate, he
should make certain that a graduate program is planned to serve his dual purpose. The
graduate student should meet with his/her advisor before completing six hours in the
program in order to develop a degree plan.
In all graduate programs in the Education Department, with the exception of the
School Administrator and Superintendent programs, three years of teaching experience,
in addition to the master's degree, are required to receive a professional certificate. In
the School Administrator and Superintendent programs, only two years of teaching
experience are required.
For admission into the master's degree programs in this department, a student is
required to submit satisfactory scores on either the General Test of the Graduate Record
Examinations (GRE) or on the Miller Analogies Test (MAT). Three letters of recommendation
(preferably from school personnel) are required. For other admissions
requirements, please refer to "General Regulations" in the front section of this catalog.
From time to time, certain graduate courses in Education are offered at selected
off-campus locations.
All graduate Education courses in the second summer term are short courses.
Two cooperative doctoral programs with Texas Tech in Education Administration
and in Higher Education are offered on our campus.
For information about these programs please contact Roger D. Gee, Director of
Graduate Studies in Education.
