Degree Programs for Current Educators

An asynchronous course is delivered online without required course meetings, and all the content is available online. Synchronous courses have a required course meeting through a video platform example: zoom.

A traditional semester is 16 weeks in length. A bi-term course or accelerated course is seven weeks in length. Some programs may have one 16-week and a bi-term course, while others may have two 16 week courses or bi-term courses.

Most students will take two courses each semester, including summer terms.

Many degrees can be completed within two academic years or six semesters, with a doctorate taking four years to complete. Contact the program director to get a specific program of study.

Applicants must be admitted to graduate study under university graduate policies and then be accepted into the specific MSE track or another degree program. Check with each program to determine program admission requirements. In addition to the requirements for admission to graduate study at USI, admission to the MSE program requires the following:

2. A minimum GPA of 3.0 in all courses taken at the graduate level at all schools attended
   
   
3. A copy of a standard U.S. teaching license or an approved waiver form
