The Master of Education degree is offered to those who are interested in professional improve-
ment through graduate study and to those seeking professional certification and/or state licen-
sure. Graduate programs are available in counseling and human development, reading special-
ist, gifted and talented, advanced physical education and sport and recreation management.
Certification programs are available in the areas of counseling and human development, gifted
and talented, master reading teacher and reading specialist education.
Professional Certification
1. A student must hold the appropriate Texas Standard Certificate prior to completion
of a Texas Professional Standard Certificate.
2. It is possible for a student to earn a Gifted and Talented Supplemental Certificate
and Master Reading Teacher Certificate and not meet the requirements for a master's
degree.
3. To be recommended for a Standard Professional Certificate, the student shall be
required to achieve a satisfactory level of performance on one or more of the creden-
tialing examinations in the area(s) of certification. The content to be tested and the
criteria for mastery is prescribed by the State Board for Educator Certification. A stu-
dent who satisfactorily completes a certification program will be eligible to take the
Texas Examination of Educator Standards (TExES).
4. The State Board for Educator Certification will conduct a criminal record review of
all certificate applicants.
5. All certificates must be applied for within three years of completion of certification
requirements. If the three-year deadline expires, the student's certification program
may be reviewed by the program director. If the director determines the student's
program no longer meets current program requirements, additional course work may
be required to update the student's professional knowledge and skills before the stu-
dent is endorsed to sit for the credentialing examination(s).
6. Although the MEd degree is awarded following the completion of an approved pro-
gram, the Reading Specialist Certificate and Master Reading Teacher Certificate
require three years of full-time teaching experience before the certificate(s) can be
awarded. The Counseling Professional Standard Certificate requires two year's teach-
ing experience.
To receive the Master of Education degree, a student must complete a degree program of at
least 34 semester-hours (48 in counseling) as planned and approved by the graduate advisor.63
