All options include at least one research course. Students planning an emphasis in K-12, secondary education, or math/science education may incorporate graduate coursework from an academic discipline. The master’s degree program is also frequently designed to qualify graduates for certification in a specific area.
The Curriculum and Leadership Studies option provides a sound foundation in curriculum knowledge including the social, philosophical, ethical, political, historical and psychological aspects of curriculum, curriculum planning, pedagogy and curriculum leadership. The degree program will deepen one’s knowledge of curriculum and will prepare graduates for positions as curriculum leaders, curriculum planners, curriculum administrators, curriculum consultants, teacher leaders and teacher researchers. Program content will benefit those teachers pursuing National Board Certification. Many classes are offered on both Stillwater and Tulsa campuses.
The K12 Masters (K12) provides choices for students to include coursework to enhance their understanding of teaching and learning at their chosen level, and in the case of secondary or K-12 to include content area coursework.
The Math/Science Education option provides extended coursework in both content area and pedagogy as students take courses in math or science education and additional math or science courses through the College of Arts and Sciences. The option also includes coursework integrating math and science pedagogy so that graduates will be skilled in content integration between the two areas. The option is designed to prepare teacher leaders in math education and/or science education. This option asks applicants to either hold an undergraduate major or minor in mathematics or science or post a satisfactory score on the quantitative portion of the Graduate Record Exam.
The Reading and Literacy option provides students with experiences to develop knowledge of comprehensive, P-12 literacy curriculum and instruction including regular and intensive reading instruction, literacy assessment and evaluation, language arts/writing instruction, and the roles of children’s literature. The program also supports candidates’ development in the areas of education theory and research, curriculum design, creating literate environments, appreciating and including diverse learners, and providing quality professional development as program administrators or literacy coaches. Students who complete the Reading Specialist requirements can be recommended to the Oklahoma State Department of Education for P-12 Reading Specialist certification.
The Special Education option is designed to prepare educators to work effectively with children and youth with mild to moderate disabilities. The option encompasses two primary pathways: Advanced Educator and Initial Certification. Classes are scheduled during evenings and weekends, and can be taken on a part-time or full-time basis. Classes utilize a variety of instructional formats including face-to-face classroom interaction, compressed video and hybrid design, where instruction includes both classroom interaction and online learning. To be eligible for state certification, students must pass Teacher Certification Examinations.
