Educational Psychology/Human Learning and Development (M.Ed. and M.S.Ed.)
The M.Ed. and the M.S.Ed. programs in Educational Psychology/Human Learning and Development are applicable for practicing teachers interested in advanced graduate studies in psychology for the purpose of applying knowledge from psychology to their classroom practices. The program core provides students the opportunity to critically examine theory and research in human learning and development, and explore the interrelationship among theory, research and practice as it applies to classroom teaching and learning. Beyond the core requirements, students take electives designed to meet their own learning goals.
