A program designed for teachers
The Evergreen Master of Education Program builds upon your knowledge and commitment as a practicing educator, helping you develop professionally while you earn your master’s degree.
The 40 credit, seven quarter program offers:
- A convenient schedule. In less than two years, you can earn your degree. Courses begin in the summer when you have time to devote to your professional development, and continue evenings during the school year.
- Affordable tuition. Because Evergreen is a state college, the tuition cost of our M.Ed. program compares very favorably with other regional programs.
- Learning that connects theory to practice. You will develop and deepen your understanding of the interdependent influences of brain, culture, and language development on the academic achievement of all learners.
- Individual programs of inquiry. In the second year, through reading and critiquing relevant original research and through conducting classroom action research, you will increase your ability to identify and address the learning needs of all students, developing effective, research-based instructional strategies. You will present your findings in a research paper and public presentation.
Along with completing core coursework, you will have the opportunity to deepen your content knowledge and increase your teaching effectiveness in Mathematics or ELL, helping prepare you for the WEST-E test in either endorsement. Successful completion of the West E is a graduation requirement.
Program faculty and staff are dedicated to the field of education, and to supporting your academic growth and professional development.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
