(Concentration: Special Education)
The Graduate Certification Master of Education Program (Ed.M.) is intended for students interested in pursuing state certification simultaneously with their master's degree. This program prepares people for careers in education who have not previously been certified to teach in any state, with the exception of the Reading specialization. Individuals seeking a Pennsylvania Intern and/or Instructional I certificate who hold a B.S. or B.A. degree in a non-education area should apply. If an applicant already holds an Instructional I or II certificate, see the M.S. in Ed. Program.
After completing supervised teaching and its prerequisites, passing the relevant sections of the National Teachers' Examinations, and passing a State of Pennsylvania criminal check, students may be eligible for a Pennsylvania Intern Certificate. The Intern Certificate allows the student to teach in public schools for up to three years. The Intern Certificate is issued only once and expires automatically in three years; no extensions are granted. Upon the successful completion of all requirements for the degree and certification requirements, students may apply for a Pennsylvania Instructional I Teaching Certificate.
