The M.Ed. degree program is a 33 semester hour program.  Students seeking licensure must meet all requirements as specified by the state, which may entail more than the minimum 33 credit hours.  Nine semester hours may be transferred in to the program from accredited institutions.  A maximum of six hours of transfer course work may be used in the emphasis area.  Transfer courses must have 5 or above as the first digit of the course number.  These credit
hours may not have been applied to a previous degree and must carry a grade of "B" or better.  Course credit earned more than five years previous to the current semester will not be approved for transfer credit.  All transfer credit must be approved by the Dean of the Carter and Moyers School of Education.  Grades and quality points for transfer work will be included in the calculation of the LMU graduate grade point average (GPA).

Educational Administration and Supervision (EAS)
The purpose of the emphasis in Educational Administration and Supervision is to provide the general background and skills needed for entry into positions of educational leadership.  Students may pursue a degree and/or requirements for administrative endorsement utilizing this emphasis.  This area of emphasis is designed to:
  •Provide pre-service school administrators and supervisors   with training to serve in leadership positions at various levels of K-12 schools;
  •Provide opportunities for practicing school administrators at all levels to update and upgrade knowledge and skills; and
  •Prepare personnel for positions as supervisors, coordinators or directors in educational or agency settings.

The student declaring the Educational Administration and Supervision emphasis must, upon admission to the graduate program, prepare a Program of Study in cooperation with his/her faculty advisor.  The student wishing to qualify for administrative endorsements will be advised of specific state requirements and a Program of Study will be developed accordingly.

Requirements for the degree include successful completion of a minimum of 33 semester credit hours.  Eighteen of the 33 credit hours must be selected from courses offered in EAS.

The student seeking school licensure in Administration and Supervision must meet all requirements as specified by the state, which may entail more than 33 credit hours.

Students are required by the state to pass the School Leaders Licensure Assessment Test with a score of at least 156.

English (ENG)
The purpose of the emphasis in English to provide opportunities for students to pursue graduate study in a subject area which particularly interests them or an area in which they have shown promise as an undergraduate.  Students entering this program should have an undergraduate English major or a minimum of 30 undergraduate hours in English beyond the general studies requirements.  Students with this emphasis will meet the English faculty requirements for most community colleges and will presumably be attractive candidates for high schools seeking English faculty who are particularly well-prepared in their subject area.  The emphasis in English does NOT lead to initial teacher licensure.

The degree requirements include 33 hours of successful course work.  The Program of Study must be filed after official written notification of admission to graduate studies has been received.  The requirements are as follows:
