Graduate Students - Master Degrees

Request Info on Graduate Programs

Master's degree programs are offered in a wide variety of areas within the general field of education. Master of Education (M.Ed) programs are open only to qualified students who have completed a baccalaureate degree and have completed course work for regular Florida State Teaching Certification. This degree is appropriate for the practicing educator who wishes to update and extend knowledge of their present teaching field.

Master of Arts (M.A.) programs leading to initial certification are open to qualified individuals who are seeking both a master's degree and a new teaching certification or to qualified students seeking a master's degree in a field not requiring state teaching certification. Students who are presently teaching with a valid Florida Teaching Certificate may add a teaching field to their certificate by completing a Master of Arts degree. Those students without Previous certification and who are seeking initial certification in a teaching area may be required by the program area to complete an internship to complete the state-approved program. M.A. candidates must complete a portfolio as part of the requirements of an internship.

Masters degrees are available in the following areas (consult the graduate catalog for specific course requirements):
