The goal of the instructional mission of the department of Adult Education is to develop student's knowledge and abilities in the social context of adult education, program development and management processes, and the teaching and learning processes. The Master of Education degree prepares students for careers in such areas as business and industry, continuing professional education, cooperative extension, health education, community development, religious or gerontology education. With Web CT, e-mail, and other telecommunication methods, classes are conducted with the same high degree of instruction as found in traditional classrooms. With the use of technology, this program is delivered to the students' computers allowing them to study and learn at a time and at the pace that is right for them. The department will admit 20 students in each cycle.
New cycles commence each fall semester.
In addition, students must complete an applied project, prepare a M.Ed. Student Portfolio, and complete a final oral exam. All courses required for the program will be delivered electronically. The WebCT software can be used to create entire courses using text, images, video and audio presentations. When students follow the required sequence, the program can be completed in two years.
