The Master of Education with Licensure/Certification can be achieved through a multi-year program utilizing evening and weekend classes, online classes, or guided independent study.
A graduate Licensure/Certification is dependent on the major of your Bachelor’s degree. If the level and area of endorsement you are seeking does not correspond to your specific major, you may need to take additional undergraduate credits as required by the laws and regulations for licensure/certification of the state in which you reside and wish to teach (namely, Colorado, Nevada, or Wyoming).
The Regis CPS classroom-based M.Ed. with Licensure/Certification degree enables educators in public and private schools to complete their graduate studies and earn licensure in one of the following areas of specialization:
