Applications are accepted twice per year, with deadlines of November
15 for the spring semester and April 1 for the fall semester.
Up to nine credits of relevant coursework may be transferred into
the MEd. program with the permission of the student’s advisor and the
Graduate College. Courses must be completed within five years and
related to the overall goals of the Leadership Program. This includes
courses taken prior to admission in the Leadership Program either at
another institution, or at UVM (Continuing Ed.). There is the
possibility of transferring an extra six credits if they are at UVM the
immediate preceding semester to matriculation.
Most of our students attend on a part-time basis (one or two courses
per semester), completing their core courses, and electives within two
and a half to three years.
The maximum number of years to complete the MEd is five years.
There are fifteen hours of required core courses taken in the program. Core courses are taught no more than one evening per week (4:00-7:00 p.m.). These courses are EDLP 334, 353, and 387, and EDFS 209 and 322. There are courses that may substitute for some of these with the approval of your advisor.
Currently, the core courses are offered on Thursday evenings from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m.
On-line courses are not offered for the MEd. program.
Tuition costs for 2009-2010, for Graduate credit, is $488/credit hour for in-state students, and $1232/credit hour for out-of-state students.
Students are required to complete 15 hours of core courses, and a minimum of 18 further hours (more for licensure candidates) including an internship, as well as an action research project. The program culminates in an oral examination/presentation of the action research project.
