ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ

The program was designed to be completed in four semesters. An alternative sequence allows Patton College of Education Teaching Fellows to complete the program in three semesters. However, as with any master's program, you have six years to finish. You can begin the program in the Fall, Spring, or Summer terms. Before you complete your first semester of study, please work with your advisor to complete a tentative program of study. Once it is approved, complete the official Program of Study Form.

Graduation Requirements

A minimum of 30 credit hours is required. Credits earned in an Endorsement completed at ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ will contribute, by course substitution, to minimum credits required for the degree.
