Program description
Education, MA
For educators seeking to advance their careers and broaden their impact, this program offers a flexible path to deepen expertise while helping shape the future of teaching and learning.
The Master of Arts in Education allows students to tailor their studies by choosing two focal areas from the Mary Lou Fulton College for Teaching and Learning Innovation, spanning topics such as applied behavior analysis, autism spectrum disorders, early childhood education, multilingual learner education, educational leadership, gifted education, literacy and special education, among others. Students may also pair one focal area from the college with a second from a partner ASU college, in fields such as data and society, digital strategy, financial education, social justice, or technical communication. The program culminates in an applied project in which students design and carry out an inquiry study addressing a problem connected to their chosen focus.
