Our M.S.Ed. program prepares traditional and non-traditional educators to evaluate learning environments, curriculum, and cultural aspects in education. Students explore aspects affecting and impacting education, including supportive learning for diverse students, techniques to improve instruction, and the gravity of authentic assessments. We tailored this degree for educators looking to advance their careers, those in higher education, and professionals in business and human service agencies.The School of Education partners with the SIU STEM Education Center, which oversees Illinois State Board of Education grants and projects. This partnership offers students research opportunities related to the development, implementation, and research of curriculum. Graduates have the skills and sensitivity to communicate and educate individuals of all ages and backgrounds.
