Management of Technical Education , MEd
The Master's of Education (MEd) with a major in Management of Technical Education is a professional degree which is designed to prepare an individual to supervise in an education and training setting, either in junior college, business, military, civil service, or other education and training sites.
It provides broad skills necessary for an educator to assist him or her in becoming a better instructor and manager. Instructional and managerial competencies are developed through various courses in curriculum design and delivery, instructional improvement, human performance technology, class organization, and management, teaching/learning styles, diversity, and program evaluation. Application of all principles is stressed throughout the program.
The program culminates with both written and oral examinations. Students will receive questions from selected professors to be answered in writing over a set time period. Oral examinations will be held following the grading of the written examination. Students must be successful in each in order to receive their degree.
Admission to the MEd program will not require the GRE if the applicant has 2.75 GPA in the last 60 hours of the undergraduate degree. Students who have a GPA of less than 2.75 must take the GRE. However, admission to the program is not made based on the GRE only. Contact the Occupation Education office for more information.
