The Master of Arts in Education (MAED) Program helps certified professionals develop into master teachers by offering coursework leading to an array of graduate level instructional and educational services endorsements.  Through the MAED program, students will strengthen content knowledge, learn new instructional strategies to meet the needs of diverse students, and develop as teacher researchers.  The MAED program is accredited through The Teacher Education Accreditation Council.

The MAED program offers the following degree options:

Content, Instruction, and Assessment Track

The Content, Instruction, and Assessment track is designed to meet the needs of practicing teachers through a flexible course of study.  Students take a core of pedagogy and research courses that prepare teachers to meet the needs of their 21st century students through instruction and assessment.  The remaining courses emphasize furthering content knowledge and may be taken from the areas of Science, ESL, Math, Language Arts/Literary, P-3, or Special Education.  Endorsements can also be earned in Bilingual/Bicultural, ESL, math, language arts/literacy, science and P-3 as part of the Content, Instruction, and Assessment track.  The flexibility of the track provides the opportunity for teachers to tailor the program to their own individual needs.

Special Education Track

The Special Education track leads to a New Jersey Endorsement as a Teacher of Students with Disabilities (TOSD). Through the Special Education track students will be prepared to work with students with a wide range of disabilities.  Students who already hold a TOSD certificate can use their course of study to expand their knowledge and expertise in the field of Special Education.
