Humanities, 5-8 M.Ed.


The M.Ed. in Humanities, 5-8 (Inclusive Education M.Ed. with a specialization in Humanities, 5-8) program prepares teachers to be leaders and critical thinkers. Schools today are complex and diverse communities - reflecting a landscape rich with individual differences. Teachers in our program are prepared using a unique combination of theoretical and practical experiences. This approach ensures their ability to create and lead equitable spaces where difference is valued while at the same time preparing them for the realities and challenges of the classroom and the profession.

In this program, students will: 

  • learn pedagogical skills to teach English language arts and social sciences and integrate content areas through meaningful interdisciplinary instruction
  • gain deep insight into the social, emotional and cognitive growth of adolescent students and how to support them effectively in the classroom
  • explore how to teach the humanities through the use of universal design and inclusivity

All students take five core inclusive education courses as well as the coursework for their licensure. For the humanities, 5-8 licensure, courses prepare educators to create and lead an inclusive middle school humanities classroom. This program includes a mix of in-person and online courses.
