Master of Education in Individually Designed Education

University of Maine

The college-wide individually designed Master of Education provides a cohesive program of professional development for educators. The program of study is individually planned by the student and their advisor. A minimum of 33 semester hours of work is required to earn the M.Ed. Candidates must complete a minimum of 12 semester hours in professional education coursework at the 500- and/or 600-level at the University of Maine. In lieu of a thesis, students must complete a comprehensive paper, project, portfolio, or oral examination, generally during the final semester or year of study. The purpose of this requirement is to enable demonstration of learning that has taken place across the program as a whole. The M.Ed. program is individually designed, however, pre-planned concentrations are available in Art Education.
