M.S. in Education with Specialization In
Education: Teaching and Learning

Master of Science in Education with specialization in Education: Teaching and Learning degree candidates complete this specialization using the Program of Study posted below. Education: Teaching and Learning is offered through the National Graduate Teacher Education Online Program (NGTE).  Students entering this specialization are assigned to a cluster/cohort group and take two courses per term.

Master of Science Degree in Education: Teaching and Learning (ETAL)
The M.S. in Education with specialization in Teaching and Learning is designed for educators/practitioners who seek a graduate degree in education with emphasis in instructional strategies and learning theory. Graduates of this program are prepared to implement a broad range of educational activities, apply research methodologies and materials, and utilize current instructional technologies to vitalize their classrooms.  Emphasis is on transforming theory into practice and tailoring instruction to enhance student understanding and achievement while meeting the challenges of state and national standards.

Nova Southeastern University is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). NGTE programs are aligned with appropriate national and professional standards. Because our students come from many states as well as areas outside the United States, these programs are not developed in accordance with any particular state certification requirements.

NGTE students should contact their state department of education for guidance in obtaining certification or licensure, or contact their local school district for approval in fulfilling district-level incentive programs. Certification requirements vary by state and district. Completion of an NGTE program of study does not guarantee certification.
