Program Overview
The Master of Science (M.S.) in Business Education degree
program is designed for those engaged in teaching business
concepts and studies in public, private and corporate
educational institutions. The 30-credit program also assists
individuals desiring initial or additional secondary teaching
certification in business, computer and information
technology. If you wish to pursue secondary teaching
certification concurrently with this degree program, you
should notify the Graduate Admissions Office of your
intention to do so upon application.
Through this program, you'll engage in effective, advanced
studies in areas relating to the learning environment, the
improvement of instruction, and professional development. In
consultation with a faculty advisor, you'll design a
personalized program of study by choosing elective courses
that best meet your own objectives. You may specialize by selecting courses that parallel a business
education certification area, or choose electives from a wide
array of education and business administration courses.
This flexibility is a key feature of the program.
Courses normally are scheduled during four eight-week
evening terms from September to May. During the summer
months, classes also are scheduled during the day for more
intensive study. These summer courses may have learning
sessions or project advisement conferences arranged by the
instructor. Because of the competency-based format, credit
allocations for some courses are based on content rather than
on the number of class meeting hours.
