The General Master of Education (MEd) degree allows graduate students to hone their writing and research skills and knowledge in their chosen areas of specialization.  Coursework is customized for the individual student and can range from pedagogy in higher education to history, English, mathematics, and other subjects.

Once admitted to the General Master of Education program, graduate students meet with the program advisor to create a plan that is unique to meet their needs. There is a wide array of options:

  • Certificate in Content Specialization (for dual credit teachers)—-18 hours
  • Certificate in Dual Credit Advanced Pedagogy—21 hours
  • General Master of Education degree with embedded certificates—30 hours

Graduates may find career opportunities as high school dual credit teachers, district office curriculum specialists, college instructors and leaders in the private sector.

Please note that the General Education MEd does not lead to any Texas Education Agency certification.

If you are ready to take the next step in your career, Sul Ross State University can help get you there with a General Education MEd.
