Meredith’s Master of Education program offers many competitive advantages—small classes taught by dedicated faculty, convenient scheduling from which to choose three specialized tracks—which means students earn a quality education that advances their unique professional and personal goals.

Individual Attention

With an average class size of 10 students, Meredith’s education faculty and graduate school staff are able to get to know and support students as individuals. This personal touch, combined with the program’s overarching emphasis on academic quality and relevance, means Meredith M.Ed. graduates develop the confidence and knowledge that prepares them to go from our classrooms to their own classrooms.

Renowned Education Faculty

Meredith’s Department of Education faculty serves in leadership roles on the boards of national, state and local education organizations. These talented educators bring a variety of interests and specialties to their classrooms, which contribute to an interactive and well-rounded program.

Convenient Scheduling

During the academic year, classes are held in the late afternoons and evenings to coordinate with the schedule of working teachers. Faculty and staff work to accommodate graduate students juggling the demands of the challenging curriculum with their career and personal responsibilities.

Specialized Tracks

Meredith M.Ed. students select the focus of their degree from three concentrations: reading, English as a Second Language (ESL) and elementary education. Add-on licensure is also available in the areas of reading and ESL. Current teachers interested in renewing a teaching license may take master’s level course work as a non-degree student.
