Secondary Education
Master’s Degree Program (M.Ed.)
The master’s in secondary education (with postbaccalaureate licensure) combines rigorous coursework and extensive field-based training. It’s also highly flexible. You can complete the secondary education degree face-to-face in a traditional classroom, via distance learning or a combination of both.
Because our graduates are uniquely prepared to teach in the geographic and cultural context of Alaska, they are highly sought after by school districts throughout the state. Many of our students are offered teaching positions even before they graduate. Our dedicated advising team is here to support you from day one, and will help guide you throughout the program.
Requirements for the Master’s Degree in Secondary Education
The secondary education master’s program is designed for students seeking first-time teacher licensure, who have already completed a bachelor’s degree in an approved subject area.
To pursue your master’s degree in secondary education, you must first complete the postbaccalaureate licensure program. You can apply up to 26 credits of the UAF secondary licensure program toward the master’s degree.
