TAL781 through 787 Doctor of Philosophy Dissertation SPECIALIST IN EDUCATION (Ed.S.) Advanced Professional Studies Early Childhood Special Education Mathematics, Science and Technology for Resource Teachers (MST-RT) in Elementary Schools Reading The Ed.S. degree is a terminal degree, for educators who already have acquired a relevant Master s degree and who wish to increase their proficiency in their chosen field. The program requires 30 additional credits beyond the Masters Degree (minimum) and is individually designed after admission. Some programs for cohorts of teachers feature lock-step curricula. These programs typically combine students pursuing M.S.Ed. degrees with those pursuing Ed.S. degrees. While all students in these programs follow the same curriculum, students pursuing Ed.S. degrees receive additional or different assignments. Please contact the Department of Teaching and Learning for a program sheet and course listings for the above programs. MASTER OF SCIENCE IN EDUCATION (M.S.Ed.) Advanced Professional Studies Education and Social Change Early Childhood Special Education Mathematics, Science and Technology for Resource Teachers (MST-RT) in Elementary Schools Reading PROGRAM IN ADVANCED PROFESSIONAL STUDIES Periodically, the Department of Teaching and Learning offers various Advanced Professional Studies programs to specific groups of teachers (cohorts). The purpose of these programs is to prepare teachers to assume leadership roles in various disciplines and to enhance the teachers current knowledge of best practices in education. Each cohort s curriculum is designed to meet that cohort s primary mission. Successful completion of these programs leads to conferral of the Master s of Education (M.S.Ed.) or Specialist in Education (Ed.S.) degree. Please contact the Department of Teaching and Learning for a program sheet and course listings for the above program 629
