Develop strategy, versatility, and confidence in one of three innovative tracks.

Confront the issues.

  • Skilled professionals emerge from our M.S.Ed. program well-prepared for diverse roles in college and university administration and ready to tackle today’s challenges from a broad-based, highly informed perspective.
  • Working pros who already have master’s degrees can earn one of our certificates in Enrollment Management or Student Life & Development to extend skills and credentials.

Shape the Future

Because of our strong emphasis on research and theory, our graduates are highly prepared not only as practitioners but also as potential candidates for Ph.D. and other doctoral studies.

  • We also are known for stressing communication skills, especially strong writing, and students are regularly required to write case-study analyses based in research and theory.
  • Our track record is exemplified by our graduates: A great majority (89%) in 2017 acquired middle-management positions in higher education or advanced at their current institutions, and 11% pursued graduate studies.
  • The University of Miami was a pioneer in strategic enrollment management and started the nation’s first EM-centered program two decades ago.
  • Today, we’re the only higher education graduate program in which EM is at the base of every concentration – as well as the only program that focuses on predictive modeling.
  • More than 90% of our master’s students add value to their M.S.Ed. by concurrently earning a certificate outside their chosen track.
  • Practical experience opportunities in our MSEd program build students’ skills, confidence, and resumes. Graduate administrative assistantships in Student Affairs offices foster the teamwork, strategic planning, and information flow of effective higher education administration and typically pay $18,000/year in regular stipends. They are limited, so apply here . Similarly, in the EPS 754 course, students do yearlong practicums in diverse offices at UM and other institutions that emphasize real-world theoretical applications and reflective analysis.

Choose Your Path

The Master of Education (M.Ed.) programme of study is administered by the M.Ed. Board of Studies appointed by the Faculty Board of the Faculty of Education. The Board of Studies is responsible for all M.Ed. degrees awarded by the Faculty. 

The M.Ed. programmes of study may be either mainly taught or mainly by research. The mainly taught programmes of study are made up of 60 credits taught study-units and a dissertation study-unit to which 30 credits are assigned. The research programmes of study that are mainly by research can be of two types: (i) taught study-units to which 30 credits are assigned and a dissertation study-unit to which 60 credits are assigned, or (ii) taught study-units to which 10 credits are assigned and a dissertation study-unit to which 80 credits are assigned.

Master of Education in Business Education

The Master of Education in Business Education aims to bridge the gap in the lack of research related to business education subjects, especially at secondary school level and in the local Maltese context. Whilst enhancing your studies in business education subjects (such as accounting, economics, business studies and marketing), this course assists you to develop your research skills and contribute to the limited research base.

Master of Education in Computational Thinking

Computational Thinking (CT), which includes coding, programming, and algorithmic thinking, has gained increasing attention in education as a set of skills considered fundamental to numeracy and literacy. The Joint Research Centre of the European Commission regards CT as integral to economic development, competitiveness, growth, jobs, and investment, and encourages EU member states to develop it through the New Skills Agenda. Many countries have introduced basic Computer Science concepts into primary and lower secondary education to develop CT skills. The teaching of CT should preferably start in the primary years, according to the Committee on European Computing Education. The Master of Education by Research in Computational Thinking offers a postgraduate qualification route to enable teachers to undertake an in-depth research project in CT.

Master of Education in Italian Education

This Master of Education (M.Ed.) is a three-year research-based part-time course and it is mainly intended for teachers of Italian and for educators who are interested in carrying out research in Italian education. Students will be given the opportunity to carry out research and further their knowledge of aspects related to Italian language, linguistics, literature and culture, in the light of recent developments in the fields of applied linguistics and language teaching methodology which are relevant to the current situation of Italian in local schools. This is especially topical, because of the major sociolinguistic and sociocultural developments of the past years which have had an impact on the exposure to the Italian language in Malta. The M.Ed. in Italian Education will lead students to recognise and value the importance of educational research by applying it to the field of foreign language teaching and learning. They will be in a position to create and evaluate research-based learning tools and classroom activities while demonstrating the ability to nurture and develop relationships between educators and learners of Italian as a foreign language. This qualification provides students with opportunities to expand their career prospects within the local educational sector as teachers/educators and at administrative levels within education management institutions and/or schools.

The objective of the admission process for the Ed.D. is to build a learning community that engages in active scholarship. The admissions process works to balance three primary goals:

  •  that students admitted to the program are of the highest quality,
  •  that there is a good match between students and faculty in terms of interest, and
  •  that we promote a learning community within cohorts that is supportive, challenging and sustained until program completion.

Basic Admission Requirements

College of Education, Health, and Human Services Admission Prerequisites

Applications are due annually on March 15  in order to be considered for admission in the Ed.D. Program. Applicants may be interviewed by the Ed.D. Committee as part of the selection process.

Individuals who wish to apply for this program may initiate the application process online .

Review process

The Ed.D. Faculty Advisory Committee will review complete applications and invite in selected students for personal interviews. During the interview, the applicant will be expected to demonstrate evidence of personal commitment to earn a doctoral degree, evidence of personal and professional goals that are aligned with the goals of the Ed.D. program, and evidence of professional behavior. Meeting the minimum requirements qualifies an applicant for admissions consideration but does not guarantee admission to the program; the Ed.D. Faculty Advisory Committee will determine admission on a competitive basis.

Satisfactory Progress Towards Degree

Each doctoral student is expected to maintain satisfactory progress towards the degree by maintaining a “B” average in coursework and passage of all required examinations within two attempts. Students who fall below a “B” grade point average in any one term will be placed on academic probation and notified of this in writing. Students who do not make satisfactory progress may be removed from the program in writing. CEHHS and the EdD Faculty Advisory Committee will determine criteria for disqualification from the program.

Readmission

Students not registered for classes within one calendar year must submit a readmission form to the doctoral program coordinator. Approval for readmission must be obtained in order to register for classes.

Residency Requirements

While there will be no formal residency requirement for part time students, it is expected that they will participate in doctoral program activities on campus or through online discussions. This involvement will foster intellectual development and provide a supportive environment for all program participants.

Normative Time from Matriculation to Degree

The Ed.D. program is designed for completion of the degree requirements at a minimum of four calendar years. However, circumstances may require students to take fewer courses each term. As a result, flexibility is built into the program. Total time to complete coursework  and advancement to candidacy should not normally exceed four years, but students can request additional time. A request for extension needs to be submitted to the Ed.D. Faculty Advisory Committee.

Total registered time in the program is not expected to exceed six years and may not exceed ten years without a formal request by the student submitted to the Ed.D. Advisory Committee.

Transfer of Credit

Courses may receive transfer credit if:

  • Graduate credits were completed within five years of application to the Ed.D. program at another accredited institution.
  • Graduate credits were completed at another University of Michigan School or College (including Flint and Ann Arbor).
  • Graduate Extension courses were completed at any of these campuses; the University of Michigan, Wayne State University, Michigan State University, Western Michigan University, Central Michigan University, Eastern Michigan University, Northern Michigan University, and Oakland University.
  • Courses were taken at an undergraduate institution, only if students completed the course during their junior or senior year and they were approved for graduate credit by the graduate school of the institution where and when the student took the course; and the courses were not used in whole or in part, in any way, to meet requirements for a degree, and the student’s doctoral program adviser approves the transfer of the course.

Up to six credit hours from another (non University of Michigan) accredited university will be accepted as transfer credits; however, the Ed.D. advisor must approve the acceptance of transfer credits. Students may transfer up to one-half (1/2) the minimum number of credit hours required in the coursework for the core and concentration classes in the Ed.D. degree from the Ann Arbor and Flint University of Michigan campuses.

The 60 (minimum) credit hour doctoral degree is divided into three parts: 1) Core Courses (24 credit hours), 2) Concentration Area Courses (24 credit hours), and 3) Dissertation Research or Applied Studies Project (12 credit hours). Considerable flexibility is available in the concentration areas to satisfy individual interests and needs.

Core Courses (24 credit hours)

All eight core courses or their equivalent must be completed. Any substitution of course(s) for a core course(s) must be approved in writing by the doctoral program advisor before the qualifying exam.

Concentration Area Courses (24 credit hours)

Eight graduate/doctorate level courses must be selected in the area of concentration with the written approval of the student’s Ed.D. program advisor. The concentration area courses are offered through the College of Education, Health, and Human Services and other units of the University.  Students will work with their advisor to determine which concentration area courses are appropriate to the students’ needs and professional goals.

Scaffolded Performance Assessment (12 credit hours)

The Ed.D. performance assessment is a scaffolded procedure designed to help students develop their scholarly voice, research skills, and become members in a professional academic learning community. At each stage students are given opportunities to present scholarship that is related to their areas of interest within the field of education. Following the completion of all coursework students will present and defend their work in a portfolio. For detailed information please review the  Ed.D. Handbook .

A student will become a candidate for the Ed.D. degree after completing the required coursework with a minimum GPA of B and after successfully defending their passing the portfolio defense qualifying examination and proposal defense. At this point, the student will be allowed to pursue the dissertation or applied studies work.

Dissertation/Applied Studies Project

Following successful defense of the portfolio and completion of the qualifying exam and dissertation/applied studies proposal defense, the student will complete a focus will be on the preparation for the dissertation research or applied studies project. This culminating work may focus on a wide range of topics and/or research methods. Whether the candidate decides to do a dissertation or applied studies project, the work will focus on a significant professional problem or issue and have the potential to contribute in a general way or in the context of a particular educational setting to the improvement of PK-12, community college, or university level education.

The student must submit a written copy of the dissertation or applied studies project to the dissertation/applied studies committee for approval before the oral defense will be scheduled. All members of the dissertation or applied studies committee are responsible for reading the dissertation or applied studies documents and submitting their written evaluations to the committee chair at least one week prior to the defense.

Oral Defense of Dissertation/Applied Studies Project

The final oral examination is the candidate’s defense of the dissertation or applied studies project. The dissertation/applied studies committee members conduct the oral examination. The final oral examination will be open to other faculty, students and interested public. The dissertation/applied studies committee members must be present at the oral defense. Unanimous agreement of the committee is required for approval of the dissertation/applied study and recommendation that the Ed.D. degree be awarded. If the committee requires substantive changes to the written project, the final vote of the committee will be postponed until after the changes are completed.

Submission of the Written Dissertation/Project

The dissertation/applied studies project must be submitted to the program director by a specified deadline in the semester in which the degree is conferred.

The dissertation/applied studies project must conform to UM-Dearborn approved dissertation/applied studies manuscript guidelines.

EdD and EdS Degree Alignment

The Ed.D. requires a minimum of 60 credit hours beyond the Master’s Degree. Students may count credits earned toward the completion of a specialist’s degree, either from the University of Michigan – Dearborn or another accredited institution of higher education, toward the completion of their Ed.D. degree. Students who have completed the Ed.S. degree at the University of Michigan – Dearborn can transfer up to 30 credit hours toward completion of the Ed.D. from the Ed.S. at the University of Michigan – Dearborn. The determination of which hours can be counted will be the responsibility of the student’s doctoral advisor. Students who have completed an Ed.S. degree at another institution can petition to transfer up to 24 credit hours toward completion of the Ed.D. at the University of Michigan – Dearborn. The determination of which hours can be counted will be the responsibility of the student’s doctoral advisor, the petition must also be approved by the Ed.D. Advisory Committee.

Students must plan their program with their assigned advisor or with the Director of the Ed.D. program. Contact the College of Education, Health, and Human Services at  (313) 593-5090 for an advising appointment.

All graduate policies have been formulated by the UM-Dearborn College of Education, Health, and Human Services Ed.D. Faculty Advisory Committee with the goal toward academic quality. This goal requires that policies be equitably and uniformly applied. However, there may be an infrequent extenuating circumstance that warrants individual consideration. In such a case, a petition to waive or modify a policy may be filed by the doctoral student. Please contact the Office of Student Success for information and forms regarding the petition process.

A diploma application must be submitted at the time of registration for the final semester.

2024 #MedCanes Ambassador Amanda Kaine

In a world where self-doubt echoes through the minds of many, society often advises drowning out these thoughts with more work, an approach that, ironically, leads to greater exhaustion. This phenomenon, often termed “hustle culture,” champions an intense work ethic and minimal rest. Our society capitalizes on business and suppressing thought.

Then, yet again, internalized doubt surfaces and is consciously recognized within the memory system, only to be forced into a reservoir of ignorance. Why does this cycle persist? What are its effects? The analogy of a boat becoming too full and sinking aptly illustrates how we bury our thoughts. Rather than facing issues head-on, we resort to the sympathetic response—ignoring or running away. This fight-or-flight reaction is a recurring phenomenon in various aspects our lives.

We are healers. Those clad in PPE and donning scrubs. Those who know the halls of hospitals and research facilities better than those of our own homes. Who give of ourselves again, again and again. But what happens when we are broken?

During my gap year, I utilized my EMT license and worked for emergency medical services in conjunction with a fire department. Witnessing the burnout among my colleagues, who endured 24-hour shifts every third day for decades, raised important questions. Could this burnout be prevented?

In medical training, we now have an 80-hour-work-week limit for residents to prioritize wellness and prevent “living at the hospital.” However, we all have the same 168 hours in a week. To prevent burnout, we must use our off time to delve into our passions and rejoice with those we love. If we don’t, we can not only become physically ill, but mentally suffer, too.

Here are some things I like to do outside of medicine that benefits my overall health and positively impacts my mental health, too!

  • Dance: I make it a point to dance weekly, coupled with stretching to maintain flexibility.
  • Lifting weights: While it may sound cliché, exercise truly alleviates stress. Tune into motivational songs, lift weights and feel the benefits.
  • Skin care/self-care hobbies: Prioritizing overall wellness, I indulge in monthly facials or hair treatments as a form of revitalization and relaxation.

Wellness is a unique journey for everyone. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Dealing with stress is a personal choice, but it’s crucial to maintain healthy habits that address both physical and mental health. A gentle reminder: You are important, and you deserve the same time and care you give to others!

The IU School of Education has been recognized again as one of the best graduate schools in education across the country by U.S. News and World Report’s 2024-2025 “Best Graduate Schools .”

Overall, the IU School of Education is ranked #34, two spots higher than last year, with eight graduate specialty programs ranked in the top 20. All specialty programs rose in rankings compared to last year.

“Our graduate programs contribute groundbreaking research and work that advances education around the world, and these rankings are evidence of both that hard work and our dedication to these programs,” said IU School of Education Dean Anastasia Morrone .

“Graduate programs across the School of Education are held in very high regard, which is a reflection of the stellar research, education, and outreach done by our faculty and alumni around the globe,” said Thomas Nelson Laird , Associate Dean for Graduate Studies.

  • Student Counseling and Personal Service - #3
  • Elementary Education - #5
  • Higher Education Administration #9
  • Secondary Education - #8
  • Curriculum and Instruction - #14
  • Educational Psychology - #18
  • Educational Administration and Supervision - #14
  • Education Policy - #18

Graduate programs at the School of Education prepare students for careers that make a difference through education fields or other professions. From working in schools and public institutions to jobs in government, corporate environments and technology companies, our graduates affect change and make the world a better place through their work. Many of these programs are also offered online, making them a flexible option for professionals looking to further their education.

Description of the eight EQF levels

Each of the 8 levels of the EQF is defined by a set of descriptors indicating the learning outcomes relevant to qualifications at that level in any qualifications system.

The learning outcomes are defined in terms of: 

Knowledge: in the context of EQF, knowledge is described as theoretical and/or factual.

Skills: In the context of EQF, skills are described as cognitive (involving the use of logical, intuitive and creative thinking) and practical (involving manual dexterity and the use of methods, materials, tools and instruments).

Responsibility and autonomy: In the context of the EQF responsibility and autonomy is described as the ability of the learner to apply knowledge and skills autonomously and with responsibility. 

Level 1 - learning outcomes

Level 2 - learning outcomes, level 3 - learning outcome, level 4 - learning outcomes, level 5 - learning outcomes, level 6 - learning outcomes, level 7 - learning outcomes, level 8 - learning outcomes, compatibility with the framework for qualifications of the european higher education area.

The Framework for Qualifications of the European Higher Education Area provides descriptors for three cycles agreed by the ministers responsible for higher education at their meeting in Bergen in May 2005 in the framework of the Bologna process. Each cycle descriptor offers a generic statement of typical expectations of achievements and abilities associated with qualifications that represent the end of that cycle.

1.    The descriptor for the short cycle developed by the Joint Quality Initiative as part of the Bologna process, (within or linked to the first cycle), corresponds to the learning outcomes for EQF level 5.

2.    The descriptor for the first cycle corresponds to the learning outcomes for EQF level 6. 

3.    The descriptor for the second cycle corresponds to the learning outcomes for EQF level 7.

4.    The descriptor for the third cycle corresponds to the learning outcomes for EQF level 8.

Students contribute to sustainability efforts on campus

Green liaisons

Graduate student Elizabeth Deese, left, and junior Erin Burnett embrace sustainability efforts on campus. 

By Barbara Gutierrez [email protected] 04-08-2024

Erin Burnett, a junior, has always loved sports. In high school in Mount Olive, New Jersey, she played field hockey, golf, and soccer. Her dream is to become an athletics director with a collegiate or professional sports team.

Toward that end, she is majoring is sport administration at the University of Miami School of Education and Human Development . She is also the student football equipment manager in the Department of Athletics.

Last semester, she heard Teddy Lhoutellier, the University’s sustainability director, talk about the efforts of Green U , the office of sustainability, and she was drawn in by the importance of these efforts for the good of the planet.

Burnett is now the UM Green Athletics Liaison, and her mission is to bring the message of sustainability to athletes and fans.

“It is really about being mindful to the environment,” she said. Her goals are to make sure athletes and fans are aware that even small efforts can make a big difference.

Lhoutellier’s message resonated with her because he emphasized how efforts to create a green environment at the University have always been student driven.

“We have a history that everything regarding sustainability at the U has been thanks to the students,” he said. “It is not very common to see student initiatives turn into powerful organizations.”

From 2007, when a student-led initiative resulted in the University’s commitment to be carbon neutral by 2050 to the establishment of a myriad of programs and groups to sustain the environment, students have always led the effort, said Lhoutellier. He cites the ECO Agency, a group within Student Government that boosts sustainability projects on campus, as one example.

As one of several liaisons throughout the University, Burnett in her role shares information a bout environmental sustainability initiatives and opportunities while identifying improvements in the units. Her role is particularly important when it concerns large athletic events, which tend to generate a great deal of waste, she said.

One of those events took place on March 6, at the Watsco Center during Miami Hurricanes’ "green” game against Boston College. Videos on sustainability were shown during half-time and participants who signed a plastic free pledge took part in giveaways.

Burnett is currently carrying out audits of the baseball stadium, Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field, and football cafeteria to determine the kinds of products being used and whether the waste could be minimized and disposed properly.

“ Some examples of what I look to find are if they are using more paper or plastic, if there are enough recycling bins, and if they have the correct bags,” she said. “I like to ask about any recent changes they’ve made or about to make.” 

For Elizabeth Deese, her love of nature, and particularly the ocean, led her to the Office of Sustainability. As a native Bostonian, she would often sail the New England coast with her family. Deese is a graduate student in the M.A. in Environment, Culture, and Media Program through the Abess Center for Ecosystem Science and Policy .

“Growing up sailing instilled in me a sense of adventure and a reverence and deep connection to the ocean and the environment,” she said. “It taught me to appreciate not only the recreational and aesthetic value of nature, but also its intrinsic value.”

Today, Deese works part-time as the communications coordinator for the Office of Sustainability and has married her love of storytelling with her interest in advocating for green practices.

In addition to maintaining the office’s social media platforms, she creates videos highlighting “green” programs, people, and initiatives around campus.

One such video was on “Sustainable Dining at UM.” It focused on how the dining halls are emphasizing plant-based offerings as well as buying produce from local suppliers and providing students with Ozzi reusable to-go containers. 

Deese finds that the messages are well received by the students and staff members.

“In 2024, because of climate change and the array of environmental problems that we are facing, shifting to more sustainable practices helps to mitigate the negative effects,” she said. 

“Reducing our individual carbon footprints is profoundly important, but we also have power beyond that. We can vote, educate ourselves, and get involved with local environmental organizations. Not only living as ‘green’ as we possibly can, but also using our power and our voice, will help bring us closer to that more sustainable and equitable future,” Deese added.

umass seal

Graduate programs in several disciplines at the University of Massachusetts Amherst rank among the best in the country as reported in the 2024 edition of  U.S. News & World Report’s Best Graduate Schools .

Each year, U.S. News ranks more than 800 institutions with a variety of graduate programs in six prominent fields: business, nursing, education, engineering, law and medicine. This year, the engineering, clinical psychology and medical program rankings will be published at a later date. 

In addition, rankings are published periodically for a selection of other disciplines; this year, new updated rankings were published for graduate programs in public affairs, computer science and health fields, including speech-language pathology, public health and clinical psychology. 

The UMass Amherst rankings for 2024 include:

US News & World Report Releases 2024 Rankings Of America’s Best Grad Schools

UM cost of attendance climbs $5,000. Students to pay $93,000 next year

The University of Miami campus in Coral Gables, seen on the first day of classes of the fall semester on Monday, August 22, 2022.

Attending the University of Miami for the 2024-2025 school year will cost students over $93,000. For students living on campus, this is a $5,226, or 6%, increase from the previous academic year.

The estimated cost of attendance includes several categories including tuition, transportation, housing and books.

Tuition, now at $60,718, has risen $2,614, making it the largest category increase.

This is $4,000 more than Harvard University which ranked third in the nation based on the annual U.S. News report . The University of Miami is currently ranked at 64.

The tuition price falls within the range of several other private universities and is lower than UM sister schools University of Southern California with a yearly tuition of $69,904 and Tulane University with a tuition of $68,678.

“In order to structure financial aid packages and offer them in time for students to make informed decisions about where to pursue their education, the University publishes an estimated cost of attendance each year. The demand for a University of Miami education remains at record highs, with more than 48,000 applications received this year,” the University of Miami said in a statement to The Miami Hurricane.

The next highest increase was in the food and housing category, approximately a $2,000 raise for both on and off-campus options. The University has has not made it clear whether this is a result of the new housing development Centennial Village, scheduled to open its first residential college this summer, or if it reflects inflated food costs throughout the country.

This rise follows recent COA increments that have surpassed the expected 3% - 4% annual increase universities typically warn students of ahead of time.

For perspective, rising seniors were given a $75,240 COA estimate when they committed to UM in 2021. This has increased by 24.4% just in their four years as students.

“I’ve been paying for full tuition and every time they raise it they never tell us. Then, they’re [UM] not flexible with payment dates,” junior Diego Zubillaga said.

“I genuinely don’t think I can afford to come back next year.”

The 6% raise also far exceeds the U.S. 3.2% rate of inflation rate recorded for the past twelve months.

Justin Ammaturo is a third year student in the School of Architecture, a five year program that allows students to graduate with a Master Degree, meaning he is responsible for an additional year of tuition. Ammaturo does not understand the true reasons behind the rise in tuition or why the University has not communicated this information with students.

“I think the University should tell us and that we should not have to find out on our own,” he said.

“It’s also not fair that they don’t tell the guarantor or parents that they’re upping tuition. Then we have to tell them ourselves.”

This, he explained, creates an awkward situation for students who in many cases have to ask their parents for additional funds to afford tuition.

The COA increase comes at the same time as students are grappling with an adjustment to the University’s financial aid policies that will limit federal and state aid for students taking courses outside their main degree of study.

This change is expected to cost students trying to complete their double majors or minors thousands of dollars in lost aid or push them to graduate early.

The story was originally published by The Miami Hurricane , the student newspaper of the University of Miami in Coral Gables, as part of an editorial content partnership with the WLRN newsroom.
