COMPREHENSIVE EXAMS

All of the M. Ed. programs require students to complete a comprehensive exam course. While the courses vary, most require students to write multiple papers that encapsulate their learning. The papers address topics learned in the 4 Core Classes and the rest of the courses.

The purpose of the comprehensive exam is to assess the knowledge and skills attained during the course of graduate study in the Master of Education program.

The comprehensive exam requires students to integrate the principals, concepts, and research methodologies when employing academic language and using a formal writing style.

All of the comprehensive exams are graded Pass/Fail.
