Language and Literacy (Reading Specialist Certification)
Program Degrees
The M.S.Ed. in Language and Literacy melds expertise in teaching English as an additional language with a complex understanding of pre-K-12 literacies (for students whose first language is English), thus preparing students to meet the needs of all language learners in diverse classrooms. Students engage in a rigorous, interdisciplinary course of study, which synthesizes and integrates the theoretical and practical issues facing teachers, learners, and administrators in multicultural/multilingual academic settings.
