Program Description:

Each of the programs leading to the M.A.Ed. degree in educational supervision requires a minimum of 38 semester hours of graduate study. Program options include curriculum instruction, instructional-technology specialist–computers, and international studies. Requirements prepare a study for graduate teaching licensure as a curriculum-instruction specialist, level one in North Carolina. Students in the instructional technology specialist– computers option also may qualify for licensure in computers. Students in the international studies program do not qualify for North Carolina licensure. Additional state-mandated testing may be required to complete licensure, but not graduation requirements. All students complete a common core of courses consisting of the professional education component and required courses in supervision as well as the specialty requirements of the program they select.
