Specialist Degree Program

The Specialist in Education (Ed.S.) degree program is an advanced graduate program that enables students to develop competence in an area of educational specialization with emphasis on practice.

The specialist student in elementary education can prepare for a position as a classroom teacher in elementary or early childhood education, supervising teacher, supervisor of elementary instruction, or director of elementary curriculum. To obtain any of these licenses, a student must be eligible to hold a valid elementary school teaching license in Indiana. Personalized programs may be planned for careers in related educational fields such as curriculum development with the state or federal government or with commercial publishing companies. Education courses lettered E and J designate elementary education courses.
