The Department of Educational Leadership offers studies leading to the Master of Science in Education degree in Learning, Culture, and Society.

The primary purpose of the MS Ed in Learning, Culture, and Society is to develop the capacities of teachers and teacher leaders to support the learning of diverse populations of students.

The program is interdisciplinary, drawing on foundational, instructional, and liberal arts courses as they relate to culturally responsive teaching. Students will pick from three areas of emphasis within the program – Cultural Diversity, Assessment, and English as a Second Language. Courses within each of these areas of emphasis are taken in multiple departments across the university.
