M.Ed Career & Technical Education

Northern Arizona University's flexible M.Ed. in Career and Technical Education offers you an opportunity to design a customized program of study, in consultation with an advisor, to meet your individual educational needs.  This degree program is designed to prepare you for a career in career and technical education.  Our graduates are CTE administrators, educators, and training and development personnel in secondary, post-secondary, and business and industry settings.  The diverse course options can be chosen to meet the future goals of many diverse students.  Your advisor can assist you putting together (and approving) a customized program of study that will prepare you for your growth in your current career or to meet your future goals.

 

Please note that this is not a secondary education certification program.  If you are interested in secondary education certification in CTE, please explore the Masters in Secondary Education, Certification Emphasis programs.

 

For this 36-unit plan, you take the following:

 

(Please note that if you choose the thesis plan, you can only count 6 units of thesis credit toward your degree. However, you may end up taking more units because you must enroll for CTE 699 each term while you are working on your thesis.)

 

If you choose the extended course work plan rather than the thesis plan, you must pass a final oral exam administered by the faculty, in addition to the course work listed here.  The exit oral exam covers content in the four core CTE classes (591, 691, 692, and 696).

 

Please be aware that your last 12 units in this plan must be taken through Northern Arizona University.
