Directors' Message
We pride ourselves in our graduate programs and in the attention we pay to students in our graduate programs. We offer unique and fully accredited masters programs. We offer initial teaching certification through two unique Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degrees. We offer advanced study for classroom teachers in our Master of Education (M.Ed.) programs in, Learning Design and Technology, Literacy, and Special Education. We offer teachers looking to work as elementary and secondary school principals an opportunity to study in our Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Educational Leadership. And if you are a principal looking for advancement, we offer an Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree in Educational Leadership that will allow you to earn your Superintendent's license and provide a pathway to your doctoral degree through our unique partnership with Clemson University.
We also offer graduate study in non school-based settings. Our Masters of Education
(M.Ed.) in Counseling and Development prepares students to be school counselors or
community mental health counselors. Our Master of Science (MS) in Sports and Fitness
Administration prepares students to assume leadership positions in various sport and
fitness venues in both facility and personnel management and program development.
Our on campus classes are scheduled primarily in the evenings to fit the schedules
of working adults. We offer traditional face to face classes, online classes, blended
classes (a combination of online activities and face to face classes) and weekend
classes. But beyond flexibility we offer you a rigorous and relevant degree program.
We can't promise it will be easy, but we can promise you that our faculty will prepare
you to be a leader in your field, whatever that field may be.
If you are a prospective student, a current student or one of our graduates, please
feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Dr. Lisa Harris,
Director of Graduate Studies
