MS Education 4Plus1 Program
The Department of Education offers a special arrangement for Franciscan University of Steubenville students to earn graduate credit towards Franciscan University's MS Education program, making it possible for students to complete their BS in Education and MS Education in as little as 5 years. A total of six semester hours of graduate coursework can be completed during the undergraduate program which would count towards the MS degree. Students can then complete the MS Education degree in an online format. All students applying for the program must have a minimum 3.0 quality point average and be in the first semester of their senior year. To complete this design, students will take
EDU 511 Curriculum in lieu of
EDU 360 Middle School Curriculum, and will take
EDU 554 Content Area Reading in lieu of
EDU 320 Content Area Reading. These two graduate courses will be completed as part of the normal undergraduate full-time tuition.Interested students may contact the Director of Graduate Education or the Chair of the Education Department for further information.
