A master of science in education program requires a minimum of 36 credit hours. Some master’s programs require more than 36 hours. Up to 6 credits may be undergraduate course hours at the 300 and 400 level. (Courses counted in a bachelor’s degree may not be counted in a master’s degree.) All programs require that some minimum number of credit hours be taken in the major area of specialization. (This minimum varies across programs, from 12 to 30 credit hours.) Some programs also have course requirements in the areas of research and foundations. There is no “general” master’s program in education.
A minimum of 12 credit hours must be taken outside of the major program area for all master’s programs. Specific course requirements for each program are listed in this chapter. Master’s degree students must complete all program course work within seven years of matriculating in the program. Regulations governing all graduate programs in education are found in the chapter entitled “Policies Governing Graduate Programs.”
Faculty Advisor
An advisor from the major program area must be selected by the student or assigned by the department. Students should check with the department office at Bloomington or the Office of Student Services at Indianapolis for information about the assignment of faculty advisors. See the section entitled “The School of Education” for a listing of program advisors.
Program of Studies
For each master’s program there is a program outline form for use in planning the specific courses to be included in a student’s program of studies. This form is available from the respective departmental offices at Bloomington, or from the Office of Stud ent Services at Indianapolis. It must be completed, signed by the student’s advisor, and submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies at least three months prior to the date of graduation from the program.
Master’s Thesis
A master’s thesis is an option in many program areas. Some programs encourage their students to carry out master’s thesis research. Carrying out master’s thesis research and writing a master’s thesis are particularly valuable experiences for students who seek a scholarly career. Students who choose to write a master’s thesis should incorporate appropriate research course work in their program of studies.
Students who opt to do a master’s thesis must enroll in 6 credit hours of 599 Master’s Thesis as part of the minimum 36 credit hour requirement for the degree. A master’s research committee must be appointed. This committee consists of two or three facult y members. The thesis director must be from the major area of specialization.
The thesis study must include the gathering of information or data to answer a question that has been posed that is pertinent to the area of specialization of the student’s major. A thesis manuscript must be written and submitted to the research committee . Upon approval by the research committee, the department chair, and the associate dean for graduate studies, two bound copies of the thesis must be filed with the Office of Graduate Studies at Bloomington or the Office of Student Services at Indianapolis .
The thesis manuscript must explain all aspects of the study, including the question posed, the rationale for the study, a literature review, method and procedure for collecting information to answer the question, procedure for data reduction, synthesis an d analysis, conclusions of the study, and educational implications. It must be typed or computer printed on 8 x 11 inch rag paper. A nationally approved professional manuscript style (usually one used by a professional organization in the student’s field) must be followed. The printing and figures must be in black ink on white paper. Figures must be on 8 x11 inch paper.
The thesis must be defended in an public oral examination. The announcement of this examination must be submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies at Bloomington, or the Office of Student Services at Indianapolis, four weeks prior to the examination date for dissemination to school faculty. The committee members assess the quality of the manuscript and of the oral defense. They must approve the thesis in order for a passing grade to be awarded in 599.
Forms for the appointment of a thesis committee, for the acceptance of thesis proposal, and for the passing of the oral defense, as well as information about the format for the thesis manuscript, are available in Guide to the Preparation of the Master’ s Thesis in Education, available from the Office of Graduate Studies.
Practicum
Some programs require practicum course work; in other programs practicums are optional. Practicum course work focuses on experiences and activities in the field.
Return to Top
Another master’s degree, offered through the University Graduate School, is the Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.). Students in M.A.T. programs do not major in education. They major in a subject field (usually in arts and sciences). M.A.T. programs are u seful for secondary teachers desiring to professionalize their teaching license or to earn an original teaching license in conjunction with a master’s degree. Those seeking original licenses or adding an endorsement must meet these requirements (see chapt er entitled “Licensure and Endorsement”). Application to M.A.T. programs is not through the School of Education. It is through the department in which the M.A.T. student is majoring. Two M.A.T. programs which are popula r with secondary teachers are the General Science Program and the Social Studies Program (see University Graduate School Bulletin).

The Elementary Certification Graduate Program (ECGP) admits students whose bachelor’s degree is not in education and who wish to be trained as elementary school teachers. For information about this program, see the section in this bulletin on maste r’s programs in elementary education. Students may also work with an advisor to pursue separate certification and master’s programs concurrently. This option is available for all master’s programs.

Students interested in the study of higher education and working in a college or university may choose between two concentrations in the master’s degree in higher education and student affairs (HESA). The concentration in
student affairs administration emphasizes the study of college and university administration, student learning and development, assessment of campus environments, issues in student affairs, and communication skills and interpersonal relationships. The concentration in
higher ed ucation emphasizes the study of organizational structure, finance, personnel management, and current trends and issues in higher education. Both concentrations introduce students to relevant theory, research, and practice related to college and univer sity administration and preparation for entry-level and, for those with previous relevant experience, middle-management positions in institutions of higher education.
In addition to the School of Education admission requirements, applicants must interview with the faculty. Students come from diverse geographic locations and academic backgrounds. Some come to the program with experience in student affairs-related positi ons, and many come directly from undergraduate study. Most full-time students need two academic years and one summer session to complete the degree requirements. To complete courses in the preferred sequence, students are encouraged to begin course work i n the fall semester. Because practical experience is valued, all students must obtain a graduate assistantship or be employed at least part-time in a related campus office while pursuing this degree. Students may take courses at either Bloomington (IUB) o r Indianapolis (IUPUI).

The master’s program prepares students to meet the increasing demand for instructional design and media specialists.
In addition to the standard School of Education admission requirements, the IST admission committee will evaluate previous course work and experience in relation to the applicant’s goal statement. Since post-master’s courses draw heavily on theoretical an d research literature in the field, students who plan to continue for an advanced graduate degree should consult with their advisor about master’s-level courses that will apply toward specialist and doctoral degree requirements.
Students entering the IST program are expected to exhibit experience with computers in three areas: (1) computer awareness and literacy, (2) basic applications, and (3) educational computing basics. Students deficient in any of these areas will be require d to supplement their program with course work in instructional computing.
