An important area of interest in the field of education is the role of Teacher-Leader with strong management skills supported by the knowledge of Human Resource Management. The Master of Arts in Management/Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction dual degree program is for any educational leader who has desire to learn best practices in curriculum and instruction, human resource management, servant leadership, and life-long learning. The degree is designed for teacher-leaders who are assuming roles as lead teachers, department chairs, grade level coordinators, coaches, mentors, or other campus-level roles of leadership. This degree also prepares those who aspire to the central office level of administration and who desire to lead teams of teachers in expanding roles in education.
The Master of Arts in Management/Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction dual degree program is a 54-hour, non-thesis program. The program consists of 24 credit hours in Business Management and 30 credit hours in Education. Business Management hours include the required core curriculum and associated program prerequisites. Education hours include 9 credit hours in curriculum, 12 credit hours in instruction, 6 credit hours in assessment and/or leadership development, and the Research in Education class (which meets the Service-Learning requirement for this degree). In areas where the student demonstrates sufficient proficiency, course substitutions may be approved by the MED and/or MAM Program Director.
