Master of Education Application

Teaching and learning form the Mission of Bethany College. Bethany’s Master of Education in Teaching and Learning (M.Ed.) Program offers full-time graduate students an opportunity to study higher education from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Our Master of Education in Teaching and Learning will provide you with a broad perspective on the educational process and the best practices for teaching and learning, equip you with hands-on experiences working with students, and prepare you for leadership.

The M.Ed. program takes two academic years to complete and employs an 8-week course model designed to maximize learning while providing time for a meaningful experience as a Graduate Intern (GI) or for working adults with full-time positions.

M.Ed. is not a teacher certification program. However, one can take additional courses and Praxis tests, which can lead to state certification in elementary education (K-6), multicategorical special education, physical education (K-12) or secondary education (7-12).
