The Master of Education-Professional Development (ME-PD) Learning Community option is designed for certified teachers as well as professionals from other fields seeking to meet desired professional advancement goals or graduate students wishing to pursue a master's degree for other career goals. The ME-PD Learning Community option does not grant teacher certification/licensure.

The ME-PD Learning Community option is a fully accredited master's degree program offered by the Institute for Professional Studies in Education and the College of Liberal Studies. Its unique format sets it apart from many traditional graduate degree programs. The format is based on Adult Learning Theory which embraces the unique needs of adult learners. The ME-PD Learning Community program is facilitated by a team of educators who generally have experience in this delivery model as well as PK-16 teaching experience and expertise in the core curriculum.

Never stop learning, growing, teaching!
