The Five-Year Integrated Master's with Certification Program
This program is intended for content majors (English, Foreign Language, Math, Science and Social Studies) entering their junior and senior year. The program is for talented students with a minimum GPA of 3.0 who wish to combine undergraduate studies in the content area and professional education as a foundation for focused professional coursework at the graduate level leading to secondary-level certification in the subject field and the Master's of Education degree. As undergraduates, admitted students complete their baccalaureate degrees with a major in the relevant content area and a minimum of 12 credits in graduate - level professional studies related to teacher certification requirements. In their fifth year, they enroll in a full-year internship and complete professional studies that make them eligible for teacher certification and the master's of education degree. The Master's Program is housed at the Shady Grove Campus.


Outreach/Off-Campus
There are several outreach programs offered by the Department in a number of locations in the State. Outreach programs are usually offered as collaborative programs with local institutions. They vary in program orientation, time sequence, and location. You should contact the Department of Curriculum and Instruction to ascertain if such a program is available to fit your needs.
