Graduation and degree requirements

To earn an M.Ed. degree, the graduate candidate must:

Have an overall minimum grade point average of 3.0 in graduate coursework
Submit an application for graduation to the Coordinator of Graduate Programs in the School of Education;
Complete the required courses specified under the graduate core curriculum and major area, Innovation in Education;
Complete 33 hours within six calendar years;
Complete the Assessment Process throughout the program;
Successfully complete the capstone project courses (MED 7800 and MED 7810) and candidate’s project must meet approval by both instructors of record. As a culminating experience, candidates are expected to work collaboratively with colleagues, administrators, families, community partners, and/or others to design and complete a project aimed at developing an equitable and supportive learning environment. Candidates who have not successfully completed the capstone in a timely manner may be given an incomplete grade on the capstone project. In such cases, candidates will not be awarded their degree until the instructor of record for the capstone course provides approval. At that point, candidates who received an Incomplete will be awarded the M.Ed. degree.
