Master of Education (M.Ed.) degree programs are offered in twelve areas of study. A student admitted to the College of Graduate Studies as a prospective candidate for the M.Ed. degree must satisfactorily complete a planned Program of Study including a minimum of 6-9 credit hours in the professional education core and a minimum of 15 credit hours in the content field of the major. Since programs of study in all certification areas are planned to enable students to meet the requirements of the Georgia Professional Standards Commission as specified in Georgia Southern’s “approved programs,” it is critical that students contact their advisors early in their course work to plan an appropriate Program of Study. The development of the Program of Study expedites the registration process and ensures that all course work may be applied toward fulfilling degree requirements. Upon successful completion of the Program of Study, graduates in certification programs will be recommended for the appropriate Georgia Level Five Certificate.
M.Ed. programs of study must include at least 50% of level 6000, 7000 and 8000 courses. Students and their advisors are strongly encouraged not to include more than one 5000G-5999G level course in the Program of Study.
