a. Rationale
for creation, revision, or deletion:
Provides
a masters degree option for Ph.D. students who want to obtain a masters degree
in conjunction with their doctoral degree, or for students who must leave the
doctoral program pre-maturely because of family, health or personal reasons. Students will not be admitted directly to
the M.A. program, since the program requirements are embedded within the Ph.D.
program.
b. Summary
of program:
Requirements for the M.A. in Education program are as follows:
1. Students are admitted only to the
Ph.D. program, and must be in good standing in order to obtain the M.A. degree
(e.g., pass all courses, successfully complete the Proseminar Assessment, and
maintain a 3.0 gpa).

complete the following minimum coursework requirements:
