Education
Impact the world for Christ. One student at a time.
Your Purpose, Their Future—Elevated Through Education
You already understand the basics of effective teaching. But how do you elevate your impact as a leader and educator? You dive deeper into classroom dynamics while expanding your knowledge and skills beyond the classroom itself. You examine the impact of current social issues on K-12 education. You explore technology integration, research techniques, and curriculum/assessment development. You experience how Christ-centered leadership and community relations profoundly impact the world of education.
Quite simply, from fundamental core principles to modern cultural influence, you elevate your understanding, ability, and impact as a teacher or administrator. That’s your Master of Education degree, at NGU.
Choose from one of the following three concentrations to delve further into your area of interest:
- Gifted and Talented/Teaching Children of Poverty Concentration
- Learning Disabilities Concentration
- Literacy Coach/Literacy Specialist Concentration
- Teacher Leader Concentration
Looking to Earn your Master’s while working on your Bachelor’s Degree?
Fast-track your future career in teaching through the Combination Master of Education Program at NGU.
There is no doubt teaching is your passion. You love seeing children learn new things and your goal is to help them thrive in the classroom. Nothing is quite as rewarding as hearing of the difference you made in the lives of your students. Teaching is both a gift and a calling.
Enroll in the program while you pursue your undergraduate degree.
At NGU, the process of obtaining both your bachelor’s and master’s in education has become a lot simpler. With our online Combination M. Ed. program, you can take graduate level courses while enrolled in either our Early Childhood Educational Studies online or Elementary Educational Studies online programs. By the time you complete your bachelor’s degree credits, you are only two semesters away from obtaining your master’s. This degree path seamlessly blends undergraduate and graduate coursework to ensure you are getting the most out of your time as a student at NGU.
Earn two degrees within five years.
To be considered for program admission, you must have 12 hours completed of undergraduate coursework with NGU and have a 3.0 GPA. Once accepted, you will take three master’s degree classes that will apply to your undergraduate and graduate degrees. Upon finishing the undergraduate portion of the program, you will only have seven more master’s courses remaining to obtain your Master of Education degree. These courses can be completed in two traditional semesters, meaning you can graduate with your bachelor’s and master’s in five years or less.
