Approved Electives and/or Minor (15-18 sh)
Approved electives must be sufficient to meet the 36-hour minimum program for the master’s degree. Electives may be taken in studies within the Department of Curriculum and Instruction (early childhood, elementary education, reading, bilingual/ESL, and secondary education) or in studies in other departments within the College of Education or departments outside the college. Electives do not need to be concentrated within any particular discipline. However, if the student desires a minor field of study in a specific discipline, at least 12 semester hours must be taken in that declared minor area. Approved disciplines for minor studies include art, biology, early childhood education, physical sciences, English, health, history, mathematics, music, foreign languages, health and kinesiology, reading, speech, and theatre arts.
