Master's Degree Program in Literacy and Language Instruction
The master's degree program in Literacy and Language Instruction is designed for committed and competent teachers in K-12 and postsecondary classrooms who seek to gain additional knowledge and skill in literacy education in order to become professional leaders and improve teaching and learning of literacy in their own classrooms, and possibly seek a reading specialist credential. This program provides a balance of theory, research and practice toward developing leaders at the school and district levels, as well as in government, business and private settings where literacy is a primary concern.
The program requires completion of 33 semester credits, of which six are required proseminars, three are on the foundations of literacy, 15 are methods of instruction, nine are from a specialization (such as English as a second language, children's literature, or writing) and a final comprehensive paper centered around an evaluation of a literacy program.
Admissions deadlines are October 15 for admission to the winter/spring semester, February 1 for admission to the summer and fall semesters. See http://ed-web3.educ.msu.edu/literacy for further information.
