Master's In Education Without Licensure
This is a Master's in Education primarily designed for certified teachers or for individuals who are interested in doing graduate-level work in education but do not wish to be certified in Massachusetts. This is also an excellent track for students who wish to earn a Master's degree for work in a broad range of other education-related professions outside of classroom teaching, such as in adult- and community-based settings or in non-teaching roles such as educational research, policy analysis, philanthropy, and advocacy. With assistance from a faculty advisor, students design a sequence of education-related courses to support their specific interests. The non-licensure track is especially appropriate for students who wish to combine interests in education and Asian American Studies, ethnic studies, and urban studies fields.
The requirements for this degree are:
I. A core of four courses including:
- EDC G 642- Organization of School Curriculum
- One course from the Critical and Creative Thinking Program
- One course from the Dispute Resolution Program (College of Public and Community Service)
- One course related to urban education
II. Seven additional graduate courses in education, selected with the assistance of an advisor, usually addressing an area of specific interest to the candidate
III. A written comprehensive examination, made up of a set of essays in response to assigned readings and questions
