This degree is designed for teachers who wish to address the demanding literacy needs of their students or who may wish to serve in a grade 1 - 6 setting at some time in their career.
The degree provides teachers with extended research-based knowledge in the areas of the literacy process, diagnosis and remediation of literacy problems, supervision of reading and literacy programs, and other literacy issues.
The 30 credit hour degree can be completed in as little as a year on campus (summer, fall, spring) or at the Buffalo Center (fall, spring, summer).
The MSED in Childhood Literacy meets the criteria for, and may be used in partial fulfillment of, the requirements for initial and professional certification in the state of New York.
The only candidates recommended for reading certification in New York by the School of Education are those who have completed the master's degree in its entirety.
