Option
in Reading (Non-Certification)
A student who wishes to obtain the Master of Science degree
with an option in Reading must hold an earned bachelor’s
degree from an accredited institution of higher education and
a valid teaching certificate.
The major
goal of this program is to develop outstanding and purposefully
directed classroom reading teachers at the elementary school
level. This program does not fulfill requirements for state
certification in reading.
Culmination
of the non-thesis approach is ED 590 Education Department
