World Languages Education, Master of Education (certification, M.Ed.)

This is a two-year program that leads to a Master’s of Education (M.Ed.) as well as eligibility for Maryland State certification to teach World Languages (WL) in PreK-12 public school settings. We align the program to meet the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) teacher certification requirements. The program includes: coursework, a year-long internship component in elementary/middle and secondary settings, completing the edTPA portfolio, completing the ISTE portfolio, and writing a graduating seminar paper. 

The 2-year M.Ed Pathway has a long and rich tradition as an intensive graduate teacher- preparation program. In two years, students complete 36 credits of graduate coursework and a year-long internship.  Our students graduate with a Master's degree from a nationally-ranked public university and eligibility for Maryland-state certification.

Non-thesis only: 36 credits required

In addition to the course requirements, students must complete the following non-course requirements:

• Students must pass the Basic Skills Examination
