Elective Courses (6 hours)

Students enroll in two elective courses for 6 credit hours. If the specialization area is outside the Department of Teacher Education and Administration then elective courses must be completed within TE&A. Approved TE&A courses include those with EDCI, EDEC, EDRE, EDBE, and EDLE prefixes, as well as some EDSE courses. Specialization advisors can help students identify appropriate elective courses and details are provided in the prior section.

Course Formats: The program offers online, face-to-face, and hybrid course formats. 

• Fully online courses do not include regular face-to-face meetings. All course work is completed in Canvas, an online learning management system. Some courses may include synchronous online meetings or opportunities to attend optional on-campus meetings. All core courses are online as well as the courses in many specialization areas.
• Face-to-face courses meet every week, and may or may not include online components. During Spring and Fall long semesters, face-to-face courses meet one evening a week for 2 hours and 50 minutes. No core courses meet face-to-face so students can graduate without taking any face-to-face courses.
