Online Master of Education

First, you'll build your teaching skills and learn how to critically evaluate education practice. But you'll also work in a specific concentration that focuses on what you want to learn and prepares you for the next step in your career. Choose a concentration in either Administration or Curriculum & Instruction:

Administration
You’ll take principal certification courses with professors who have walked the path before you—former principals, administrators, and superintendents who know what real leadership requires. Through a revamped curriculum, hands‑on practicum experiences, and targeted support, you’ll build the skills to lead change, inspire your campus, and drive meaningful improvement. You’ll also receive focused preparation for the Performance Assessment for Student Leaders (PASL) exam, ensuring you graduate from Texas Wesleyan ready to step boldly into your next leadership role in education.

Curriculum & Instruction
We'll teach you how to become a teaching leader on a struggling campus by providing strategies to improve student achievement, parental involvement and social and emotional development of students. With special program components that focus on leadership and ESL, you'll learn the culturally-responsive teaching methods needed for your classroom.

The Online Master of Education program consists of accelerated courses and offers six sessions per year, meaning you can finish in just one year. You'll watch class lectures and finish assignments on your own time through Canvas, our Learning Management System (LMS), and complete your M.Ed. 100% online.

All applicants must have evidence that they possess the intellectual, professional and social qualities necessary for successful completion of the program. Applicants must also meet the following requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college or university with one of the following:
  • 3.0 Cumulative GPA
  • 3.0 GPA in last 60 hours
  • 3.0 Masters GPA
  • 290 GRE Score
• 1-2 years of teaching experience recommended but not required
• Note: If your bachelor's degree is in a field other than education, you may have to take up to 9 hours of undergraduate education courses or be alternatively certified by the State of Texas. 

Administration concentration only:

• Confirmation of support from current administration
  • In order to receive the principal certification, students must complete a 160-hour internship under the supervision of their campus administration. We ask the students to provide us with the name and email address of their administrator who will be supervising them, and we will request the acknowledgment of support.

If you do not meet the initial requirements:

• In order to be considered for conditional admission, you'll be asked to write a statement to the admissions committee detailing why you do not meet the current requirements and what steps you plan to take to be a successful student in the M.Ed. program
