MED - Master of Education in Latin

The MEd in Latin requires 38 semester hours and concentrates on the study of the Latin language, with additional course work required in the areas of classical civilization and professional education. Courses are offered in the summer, usually in an intensive three-week format, and in the evening during the school year to accommodate in-service teachers. Distance learning sections are offered for some courses.

The Teacher Leadership track is for individuals with initial teaching licensure for Latin; the Classroom Practice track is intended for post-baccalaureates without initial teaching licensure for Latin. The successful candidate will be eligible for “M” licensure.

Applicants must submit all application materials required by The Graduate School by the appropriate deadline to be considered for Fall, Spring, or Summer admission. Qualified applicants should have a bachelor's degree with a B average in at least 12 hours of Latin beyond the first year.
