Graduate Programs

Three program areas combine to form the department of Workforce Education, Educational Leadership, and Social Foundations (WELSF).  Each program offers or have offered graduate degrees comparable to those offered at other institutions throughout the United States. Graduate study in WELSF involves a combination of rigorous research and coursework.  Students are offered a greater depth of preparation, with increased specialization and intensity of instruction. Study and learning are more self-directed and graduate courses assume students are well-prepared in the basic components of their field of study.

In the program of Workforce Education, applicants may chose to pursue study leading to these graduate degrees:  Ph.D., Ed.D., Ed.S., MAT, and M.Ed. In addition, the program of Workforce Education offers an Online M.Ed. degree and opportunities for a variety of teaching and leadership endorsements. Through its Professional Academy for Career and Technical Educators (PACTE), the program of Workforce Education provides a unique teacher licensure opportunity for those individuals seeking an alternative to the traditional certification route. The Educational Leadership program provides an opportunity for teachers to add leadership to an existing renewable teaching certificate through its WebCT Online Add-On Certification program. Finally, the Social Foundations of Education program offers the Ph.D. for those individuals who wish to prepare themselves to become high level researchers, scholars, teachers, policy analysts, and other educational and political leaders through the critical analysis of schools in society.
