Subject: STEM Ed Announcement: Fall 2008 MCLA will offer a M.Ed.
degree program
Fall 2008 Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (MCLA) will offer a
master's in education (M.Ed.) degree program, to be held at the Intermodal
Education Center in Pittsfield, with content areas in English, history,
math and science.
Designed for Berkshire County educators who teach full time, courses will
take place in the fall, spring and summer, with program completion in less
than two years.
Classes will be offered with multiple delivery methods - one evening per
week, over three weekends, or as hybrids - a combination of online and
conventional classes which meet fact-to-face.
Students will create an individualized plan of study within the first
course. If a content area is not available, education department advisors
will assist students in finding appropriate courses that can be
transferred into the MCLA M.Ed. program.
The 33-credit-hour program operates on a semester calendar, and includes
an abbreviated summer session with one-week courses, and can be completed
in 21 months.
Two courses will be offered during each academic term, meeting either one
night a week from 4:15 to 6:45, on three Saturdays and Sundays from 8-5
and 10-4, or as a hybrid class. Summer courses will be held either all day
for one full week or as hybrids.
Candidates for admission to the M.Ed. program are required to hold a
bachelor's degree from an accredited institution of higher education.
Admission decisions will be based on a combination of a student's
undergraduate and/or graduate academic performance, professional and/or
teaching experience, and three letters of recommendation. A minimum
undergraduate GPA of 3.0 is required for immediate matriculation.
MCLA also will offer graduate mathematics content area courses in August;
to include "Math Concepts and Technology," "The Psychology of Mathematics
Learning" and "Foundations of Math from Arithmetic to Algebra."
