Graduate Research
- Curriculum and Instruction, M.Ed.: Every student completes a research capstone. The Teacher Researcher concentration moves you from classroom teacher to teacher-scholar and prepares you for doctoral study.
- Elementary Education, M.A.T.: Complete a research capstone, including a linguistic comparison of French and English in the French Immersion concentration.
University Honors Program
Honors students can dig into research in their field by earning an Honors Baccalaureate Degree. This optional track lets you complete original research or creative work through a faculty-mentored thesis, from defending a proposal to presenting your final project. Along the way, you'll build a close mentoring relationship with faculty, find out whether advanced research is right for you, and strengthen your applications to graduate school.
Honors students also take Honors courses and seminars and can use Honors contracts to go deeper in their classes.
