Graduate Studies in Reading Education
The Reading Education Specialization unit prepares students to become
future leaders in reading education as reading specialists; university
and college research and teaching faculty; administrators, advisors,
and consultants to literacy programs at state, regional district,
and school levels; literacy and educational policy makers; and developers
of educational materials and curriculum. The master’s degree
program in reading conforms with the Maryland State Department of
Education (MSDE) certification requirements for K-12 and is approved
by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education
(NCATE). Students completing this program receive the M Ed degree
and, with the successful completion of three years of classroom
teaching experience, are eligible for certification from MSDE as
reading specialists. The PhD and EdD doctoral programs in reading
education are designed to prepare students for a variety of professional
roles. Individual programs of study—with concentrations in
research, teaching, and supervision of reading programs—are
developed to meet the needs of each student.
The scholarly work and interests of the Reading Center Faculty
are represented by six strands: research-based literacy instruction,
family literacy, literature and exposition, diversity, literacy
processes and strategies, and assessment. These strands demonstrate
the faculty’s commitment to ensuring that all children have
access to compassionate and competent reading teachers and become
lifelong readers.

This degree option is intended for already certified teachers who
seek to complete studies toward the master’s degree in education
while completing requirements to qualify as a Reading Specialist.
While candidates may begin this program during their first or second

until they have completed a minimum of three years of successful
teaching experience.
