FGCU College of EducationElementary Education (MA/MEd) Elementary Education (MA/MEd) The MEd Elementary Education degree program is designed to provide focused graduate study in an area of specialization for teachers currently certified to teach in the elementary grades. Three concentrations (areas of specialization) are available: (a) elementary curriculum; (b) literacy in a diverse society, which leads to endorsement in teaching English Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), and (c) Early Childhood Education, which can add Age 3 - Grade 3 endorsement for some certified Elementary teachers. The MA in Elementary Education (initial certification) enables students with a BS/BA in another field without elementary certification to meet requirements for both elementary certification and the master's degree. Completion of certain undergraduate courses and internships may be required. Both programs are practitioner-oriented and are aimed at increasing the curriculum and instructional expertise of teachers.
