Cordell Perkes Location: Education Building, Room 234 Telephone Contact: Cathie Soutas 626-6278 Weber State College offers to educators a graduate program leading to a Master's Degree in Education (M.Ed.). Although primarily for teachers in the public schools, non- traditional educators will benefit from the program. Students may choose breadth in the program or specific areas of subject specialization. The program has a practical orientation and is specifically designed to improve the professional and instructional skills of teachers. The goals of the program are accomplished through courses, seminars, independent study, student cohort groups, and individual and group assignments and projects emphasizing a practical implementation of theory to the student's teaching environment. Courses are generally scheduled weekly at 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. during the academic year and in three-week blocks during the summer. Near the end of the 54 credit hour program, the student develops and presents a Master's project and report. This is not the traditional research thesis, but an opportunity for the student to make a practical application of newly acquired knowledge and skills to improve his/her curriculum, instruction, management, etc. A graduate seminar, taken also near the completion of the program, helps students synthesize, apply, and evaluate their graduate program. Courses, workshops, and conferences are also open to educators who are not seeking an M.Ed., but only wish to improve their professional knowledge and teaching skills. To be considered for admission to graduate study in Education, applicants must: • Submit applications for WSC and M.Ed. program admission and pay the application fee. • Have earned a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution and submitted transcripts from all previous colleges attended. • Have a GPA of 3.25 or above on last 90 quarter hours of approved undergraduate/graduate coursework, OR a GPA of 3.00 or above on last 90 quarter hours of approved undergraduate/graduate coursework and a score of 40 or above on the Miller's Analogies Test, or 1275 on the Graduate Record Examination.
