Educational Research Faculty in the major areas of Instructional Systems, Measurement and Evaluation, Program Evaluation, and Sport Psychology may serve as members of your committee. Your Master's Degree Project We encourage students to design and conduct a study addressing some aspect of human learning or cognition within their own setting. Of course, you may also design research in the same substantive area as your major professor. Your master's project serves as the assessment in lieu of comprehensive exams, since the focus is on the synthesis and application of information in the context of an actual problem. You will also receive guidance about how to develop your study into a paper that is presented at conferences and published in a professional journal.
Students develop their program of study in conjunction with their advisor.
In contrast, a program supervisor from a state agency might select courses from adult education, educational leadership, human services, management, psychology, social work, or sociology. Again, please select courses in consultation with your advisor. We anticipate that students will complete the Master's Degree within two years. Full-time students may complete the Program within one calendar year. A cumulative G.P.A. of 3.0 based on a 4.0 scale for the last two undergraduate years.
