Bemidji State University's Department of Professional Education is committed to high-quality graduate education for pre-K-12 and post-secondary teachers. To achieve this goal, the M.S. Education degree program core courses are designed to meet six program standards adapted from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS). Seven core courses in the new program address the standards and provide a sound foundation for advanced study.
The remainder of the program is devoted to advanced study in the teacher's content area. Thus, the Master of Science, Education degree promotes the scholarly development of professional teachers who directly influence the learning process of pre-school through post-secondary students.
