Master's In Elementary Education Degree Available Online

July 21, 2008

Bowling Green, Ky. - Western Kentucky University’s Department of Curriculum & Instruction has introduced a more convenient way for certified elementary school teachers to earn their Master of Arts in Elementary Education.

Beginning this fall, teachers who need to earn their Rank II will be able to take their entire degree program online.

Dr. Tabitha Daniel, department head, said this is a great new opportunity for busy teachers. “We expect tremendous response to this new program,” Dr. Daniel said.

WKU’s accredited online classes and degree programs are administered through the Office of Distance Learning and the Division of Extended Learning & Outreach (DELO). Online classes equal traditional face-to-face programs in meeting students’ needs, access to faculty and interaction with other students. Online courses offer students unparalleled flexibility with no set class schedule and no travel time or expense.

Interested teachers should apply for admission through the Office of Graduate Studies and will be required to supply their transcripts and teaching certificate. Applicants can apply online or download a printable application at www.wku.edu/graduate. WKU graduates will not be required to submit a qualifying GRE score for this online program only.

For information about the new online master’s program, contact Dr. Tabitha Daniel at (270) 745-2615 or tabitha.daniel@wku.edu.

Distance Learning is a unit of the Division of Extended Learning & Outreach (DELO).
