Individual program requirements described in The University of Memphis Graduate Catalog, 2020-2021, are subject to change. Please consult your graduate advisor for changes that may occur before publication of the next issue of this Catalog. Every graduate student is expected to comply with the general requirements of the Graduate School (see Admission Regulations , Academic Regulations , and Minimum Degree Requirements ) and the program requirements of the degree being pursued (see departmental listings in this section).
Graduate programs in the College of Education prepare students to be leaders within their professional areas of education. Candidates for a degree must design a curriculum plan that has the approval of their major advisor, the department chair, and the Associate Dean for Graduate Studies.
In programs where candidates are specializing in a professional area, awarding a degree or recommending for a professional license does not merely attest to the accumulation of the specified number of hours in the classroom or other professional setting but also to the demonstration of professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions. The faculty has the responsibility to both the public and the profession to award a degree or license only when the candidate has demonstrated a satisfactory level of professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions as judged by the program faculty. Further, candidates must exhibit integrity and character consistent with the standards of ethical principles set forth by appropriate professional associations and Tennessee law.
The College of Education offers degrees at the master’s, specialist, and doctoral levels. The master’s degree programs are the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT), and the Master of Science (MS). Offered at the post-master’s level are the degrees of Education Specialist (EdS), Doctor of Education (EdD), and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).
Graduate degrees in the College of Education are available in the departments of Counseling, Educational Psychology, and Research; Instruction and Curriculum Leadership; and Leadership.
For specific information concerning majors, areas of concentration, course requirements, etc., students should review the program descriptions found under the departmental listings in this Bulletin. See the chart of academic programs at the beginning of this section for majors and concentrations.
