Master of Arts in Education

This is a highly interactive program requiring extensive communication and sharing of ideas with faculty and fellow students. These online graduate courses are asynchronous, with no required days/times when classes meet. Much of your work will be done independently, when and where it fits your schedule.

This program is designed for licensed teachers who wish to add the Reading endorsement to their current teaching license. Students enrolled in the License+Master's Program who are seeking their initial teaching license are not eligible to enroll in an online cohort.

• Ohio 12 hour reading core -- teachers must have completed the Ohio 12 hour reading core including a course in phonics, as mandated by Ohio licensure prior to applying for the reading endorsement. Some teachers enrolling in BW's program have not completed the Ohio 12 hour reading core at the time they first enroll at BW.  Baldwin Wallace will help teachers determine which undergraduate courses are needed if they do not currently have 12 hours of reading coursework.
