Recommended Progression of Studies

The electives listed on the admissions page above are recommended for those students in the M.Ed track who do not already bring graduate electives to their program.  On a case by case basis, the program will review courses from other accredited universities to ensure that they meet the course and content guidelines of our core theory classes. Students are required to complete at least three of the core theory courses prior to applying for or being enrolled in the field experience internships/seminar classes.

The Educational Leadership courses are all web based courses, unless otherwise noted. Candidates meet with their instructor at pre-determined times on Elluminate (ELIVE) each week. Access to, and familiarity with, web based technology is essential. Visit UAA Distance Education website for more information.

The College of Education is now required to maintain an electronic depository for key student assignments. We are using an application called TaskStream for this purpose. Key assignment(s) for this class will be posted on TaskStream. Please use the TaskStream Tutorial Guides to get started.
