Education: Master of Education in Secondary Education (Licensure Program)
This program is designed for any individual interested in the education of children in grades 7-12 who is also seeking a teaching certificate. Students who complete this program are eligible for credential. The format and courses included in this state and regionally accredited program are tailored to meet the needs of the adult learner and to maximize the content knowledge that students already possess.

Assignments within each course guide students through observational and practice-based experiences, with over 140 hours of observational experiences.
Graduates of the program are prepared to become informed educators in public and private schools and other settings requiring a teaching credential.
Students must have access to a grades 7-12 classroom to complete the program and practicum assignments. The final semester of the program includes a full-time, 16-week student teaching component.

This was a wonderful program for me, and a great opportunity. I am not so computer savvy, and the online program is fabulous. The mentors and teachers are so incredibly helpful. I am so fabulously blessed."

"Before this opportunity, I had no way of affording going back to school. I waited until my kids finished school, then decided to go back myself. It was my turn. This opportunity had great timing. Thank you."

"This has been a wonderful experience. I love that I can travel around the U.S. with my laptop to be in touch with my classmates and perform all my class duties properly. It is a really good opportunity to finish a Masters Degree program."
- Elizabeth Ortiz,
Teacher
"I'm overwhelmed with the opportunity to continue my education. At one point in my life, I felt as if there was no hope for me to go back to school. My co-worker introduced me to this program and I can't thank her enough. I'm learning new things and [meeting] new people all at the same time. This program is so convenient for me and my kids. I can be a full time mother and get my education, too."
- Consuela Mayfield
"I entered the program unsure of myself because it had been 22 years since I had studied at a university. I didn't know how I was going to do with the website programs after all this time. But, I already have 15 hours with excellence in all my courses, and every time I enter a new course, I feel more confident in myself. I love the online program."
