This program is a full-certification program including 18 hours of graduate-level, initial teacher certification course work.
This specialized M.Ed. program for elementary education students provides an accelerated pathway for well-qualified post-baccalaureate individuals seeking initial teacher certification.
The Master of Education (M.Ed.) Major in Elementary Education (Teacher Certification in Early Childhood through Grade Six ESL) is a full-certification program including 18 hours of graduate-level, initial teacher certification course work, completed in two semesters of full-time attendance. The first semester classes are delivered at a Round Rock ISD elementary school, where students experience theory applied directly in classrooms. The second semester involves 14 weeks of student teaching in a public school. Due to the accelerated nature of the program, a substantial portion of the program requires a daytime commitment. Following completion of the initial 18-hour teacher certification, students are eligible to apply for state teacher certification. Once certified, they are eligible to work as teachers while they complete their degrees in the evenings, online, or summers at either campus.
Students enter the program from a variety of fields, such as IT or event management, yet transition well to classroom teachers, directors and other roles in educational leadership.
