Regents Online Master of Education Degree Requirements
The mission of this RODP Master’s Degree program in Education is to provide advanced professional preparation in the area of reading and language arts for practicing teachers. This program is based on the requirement that all participants will be fully licensed teachers who are currently teaching in Tennessee classrooms. Further, this program is based on the assumption that all courses will base course content and learning experiences on the student’s work as a classroom teacher. All courses will include assignments that teachers will carry out in their own classrooms.
