In addition, if your previous education has not included course work in multicultural education you should plan on taking a multicultural course (e.g., ECS 6631, 6632, 6633, 6634) as part of your master’s program.
The M.Ed. in ECS is structured to provide students with one core course (3 credit hours). M.Ed. students then select their area of emphasis (interdisciplinary inquiry or reflexive praxis with or without ESL endorsement). Based on their selected area of emphasis, students select the remainder of their courses as outlined below (24-25 credit hours). To complete the M.Ed. program, students are required to register for the M.Ed. Comprehensive Exam (3 hours, ECS 6961). The M.Ed. program consists of a total of 30 credit hours. For those seeking an ESL endorsement, the M.Ed. program will consist of a total of 31 credit hours. Those seeking to continue studies towards a Ph.D. after obtaining a M.Ed. must consult the Director of Graduate Studies after they have completed 18 credit hours of coursework.

All M.Ed. students must complete a final comprehensive exam in order to graduate. The comprehensive exam is an open book, take home exam consisting of three questions. This examination will be based on your course work. You will be asked to review, synthesize, and analyze critically the content of your course work. Comprehensive exams are scheduled at the end of the Fall and Spring semesters. Students must be registered for three hours the semester they take the exam. Contact the Academic Program Specialist the semester before the semester you wish to take the exam. They will help you complete the paperwork you need to register for the exam and to receive your degree. (ECS 6961)
