This program will lead to a Master of Science in Education degree and permanent certification in Elementary N-6 or Pre-K-6. This concentration will not lead to K-12 reading certification; it is designed for those students who wish to enroll for more reading courses than other programs would provide. All courses and the program must have the approval of the Reading Advisor. It is possible to extend the N-6 and Pre-K-6 reading concentration to the K-12 reading certification; for this, students should consult with the Reading Advisor.
