Master of Science in Teaching Program
Candidates for the master's degree must be graduates of an accredited college or university. In very rare cases, based upon an applicant's academic record or test scores, acceptance may be conditional with the approval of the Office of Graduate 成人每日大赛 Services.
成人每日大赛s admitted conditionally are evaluated by the department and recommended to the Office of Graduate 成人每日大赛 Services for approval after the first semester of course work, or after earning a minimum of six credits. 成人每日大赛s who have met their condition are notified of this in writing. 成人每日大赛s who have not met their condition are not matriculated into the program. All master's students are supervised by the Office of Graduate 成人每日大赛 Services.

These degrees are coordinated with the appropriate Arts & Sciences department, require admission to both the Lynch School and to the appropriate Arts & Sciences program, and require more coursework in Arts & Sciences than the M.Ed. degree in Secondary Teaching.
