Teachers, are you passionate about literacy?
If so, give yourself the competitive edge to become a leader in reading education in your school or district by earning a Master of Science in Reading Education.
Increase your knowledge of reading instruction, diagnosis, and remediation of reading problems, and learn new research-based strategies that will help you teach readers of any age in a K-12 setting. Each course stresses both the theories resulting from the latest research and the practical application of these theories in the classroom. Students may obtain a Master of Science degree in Reading Education, which includes the Reading Specialist certification (PK-12), or obtain only the Literacy Specialist certification (PK-12).
You will leave our program with many strategies to have a positive effect of literacy development, the ability to create techniques, and the ability to make sound judgments regarding any new strategies to which you will be exposed in your career.
