Masters Degree in Education

ECept Education > Online Education

Q. Are there Regionally Accredited Colleges/Universities that offer Masters Degrees in Education that accept graduate level work similar to Regents and Thomas Edison?

A. If you literally mean a regionally accredited master's in education, not that I know of. But there is a program that comes close which may be of interest to you. That's Western Governors University's new master of arts program in "learning and technology". It opens for business in August 1999, and apparently will be conducted entirely by examination. Examinations will be available at a variety of college testing centers and at Sylvan Learning Centers. If you know the material, just take the tests. If you don't, they will point you at a variety of appropriate courses offered by a number of different DL schools. Then when you think you have mastered the material, take the exam. Two potential problems: One is that it's an MA in Learning and Technology rather than a traditional MEd. May or may not meet your needs. To get the details about what it covers, go to http://www.wgu.edu The other problem is that it isn't regionally accredited yet. WGU is in the process of becoming a recognized candidate for accreditation as we speak. But you will need to check with your employer to see if a candidate for accreditation meets their requirements. One good point is that WGU has gotten a huge amount of press, and almost everyone has heard of it and knows that it's for real.
