Master of Education, Technology Education K-12
Degree earned: M. Ed. Technology Education
The Master of Education program in Technology Education provides opportunities for continued professional growth of technology education teachers. Courses are required in educational research, philosophy and psychology. Current theories and practices in technology education are developed regarding its evolution, philosophy, curricula, methodology, facilities, interdisciplinary relationships and impacts. Opportunities are provided for remaining current with recent technological developments and improving technological problem solving expertise. Courses may also be elected to broaden knowledge in related educational areas.
Technology is a strong integrating theme and provides a realistic context for learning. All teachers should consider the interdisciplinary relationships of Technology Education and the pursuit of graduate courses that improve competence or lead to a master’s degree in technology education. Dr. Scott Warner is the coordinator for the graduate degree program for Technology Education. If you have any questions, please feel free to email Dr. Warner at Scott.Warner@millersville.edu.
Admission Requirements
Applicants must possess a baccalaureate degree. Individuals who hold a bachelor’s degree in another field and seek admission may also wish to satisfy Technology Education teacher certification requirements.
