Lead by Example. Teach with Care.

Your capacity as an educator is limitless, and our online Master of Education degree will empower you as a compassionate servant leader in your school and community. You’ll explore your vocation through multiple lenses, leverage your field experiences to improve learning outcomes, and emerge as a powerful advocate for the students and families in your care.

This degree differs from a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT), which is one of the routes we offer to becoming a teacher. If you're not sure which degree is right for you, contact your admissions counselor.

You also can choose from start dates in the spring, summer or fall, allowing you to maximize district professional development funds when they’re available.

Lead with Your Heart

Form lifelong relationships with caring faculty whose expertise is matched by a commitment to your personal and professional growth.
