Degree and Certification Requirements

For additional degree requirement information for the following degree, refer to the school section on Master’s Degree Requirements.

General Special Education

(Area of Concentration)

Individually designed master’s degree specializations (36 credits minimum) are available for those students who hold Pennsylvania special education teaching certificates or for regular educators who just want to learn more about special education. These specializations are designed to accommodate individualized professional goals but do not provide students with special education certification. Students may also pursue study for other certifications and/or other specialized study.

Language, Literacy and Culture

(Area of Concentration)

The Language, Literacy, and Culture (LLC) doctoral program brings together four previous doctoral programs in the Department of Instruction and Learning: English Education, Foreign Language Education, Reading Education, and Social Studies Education. LLC takes an inter- and multi-disciplinary approach to the study of cultural, linguistic, social, psychological, and political perspectives on educational studies. Changing immigration patterns, the population of K-12 schools, and new empirical and theoretical advances in education together indicate the need for diverse approaches and disciplinary lenses on the fields of teacher education and classroom teaching and learning. The focus is on the examination of educational issues using sociocultural, linguistic and critical theoretical approaches that are rooted in the promotion of equity, social justice and democratic values.

The LLC area of concentration is appropriate for students with backgrounds in subject matter disciplines (such as reading, English education, foreign and second language learning, applied linguistics, and social studies education) as well as for students interested in pursuing the kinds of interdisciplinary studies in instruction and learning listed above. The interdisciplinary emphasis provides students the opportunities to work with a group of dedicated faculty with diverse backgrounds in addition to being matched with an advisor who is appropriate to their interests.

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics EdD

(Area of Concentration)

The STEM Doctor of Education (EdD) program is intended for teachers and educators who desire the skills and credentials needed to advance their practice-oriented careers. It offers a rigorous theoretical and practical orientation for scholar practitioners aspiring to become leaders in K-12 schools and institutions of higher learning, in positions such as district curriculum supervisor, faculty member at a teaching-focused university or district leader in the STEM fields. Candidates for the program must have a master’s degree in a related field as well as extensive instructional work experience.

Four core courses examine ideas that lie at the intersection of research in STEM (based primarily in mathematics and science education) in the areas of Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment and Professional learning.  Across these courses are threaded considerations of Equity (issues of fairness and justice in how people are treated and of how to provide access and opportunity to all learners), Policy (how policies are created, interpreted, and enacted, and their relationship to educational practice), Methodology (different procedures for studying educational phenomena in STEM education research and their implications) and Theories of learning (different perspectives on how people learn and their influence on instructional decision-making).

Urban Education

(Post-Baccalaureate Certificate Area)

The School of Education Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Urban Education addresses the social-emotional and learning needs of diverse students in urban schools locally and nationally in an effort to achieve greater equity in opportunity and experience.  The program enrolls both preservice and in-service teachers.

The Urban Education certificate program aims to increase a teacher’s level of effectiveness for their students in urban schools as well as increasing their marketability and longevity in the field. The certificate program is built upon the following themes developed through asset-based knowledge, understanding, attitudes, dispositions, beliefs, skills and practices: 

• Social/Cultural/Relational Dynamics - deeply understanding our students, their families and communities, to best develop meaningful relationships from which to learn and teach.
• Authentic Teacher Self-Excavation - teachers deeply understanding themselves and their impact on students.
• Pedagogical/Curricular/Classroom Learning and Dynamics - deeply understanding and creating positive, responsive, effective classroom student experiences.  

The program leads to a University Certificate in Urban Education and does not lead to commonwealth certification.
