The MA in Education is offered with emphases in the areas of Curriculum and Instruction, Educational Administration, and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). All three emphases are also offered online.
The Curriculum and Instruction emphasis is intended to prepare outstanding teachers and curriculum specialists, providing knowledge and developing skills in innovative methods of instruction, curriculum, evaluation, classroom management, and the integration of faith and learning in order to create a pervasively Christian learning environment.
The Educational Administration emphasis is intended primarily to equip educational superintendents and elementary and secondary school principals. The emphasis includes the knowledge and skills needed by Christian school administrators to lead teachers, students, parents, and church members in creating positive learning environments.
Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) is designed primarily for preparing teachers who will teach the English Language, as well as those who will use English as a medium of instruction, especially in bilingual or immersion settings. This emphasis focuses on the theoretical foundations of language and language learning and practical methods and techniques of language teaching, as well as providing hands-on experience in teaching English to language learners.
