program for superintendents. Probationary status will be assigned for one semester or course period if the GPA falls below the minimum established level. A graduate student will not be allowed to continue in the program if the GPA remains below the required level after the probationary period. A student on academic probation who raises his or her GPA above stated minimums will automatically be released from probationary status. MASTER OF EDUCATION (M.ED.) The Master of Education seeks “…to enable students to become servant-leaders as a result of their education.” This program is designed to prepare graduates to serve their school communities in the areas of leadership in reading, leadership in schools, leadership in school technology, and leadership in early childhood. Admission Requirements To be eligible for the M.Ed. program, applicants must have: • A bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited, degree granting institution • A minimum of a 3.0 undergraduate grade point average • A valid teaching certificate • A minimum of one year teaching experience • Three letters of recommendation that address the applicant’s potential as a leader in reading, schools, school technology, or early childhood. Those holding graduate degrees or having performed satisfactorily in another graduate program are also eligible to apply. Applicants for admission are evaluated in terms of their undergraduate GPA, recommendations and other supportive documents. Graduate Record Examination or Miller Analogy Examination scores may be submitted in support of an application. Senior level undergraduates with a GPA of 3.0 may register for elective graduate courses and workshops with permission of their advisor and the Director of Graduate Programs. Courses may not be applied to both undergraduate and graduate programs. Time Limit Although the student has seven years to complete the program from the date of the commencement of the first course in the program, the technology and early childhood education coursework must be completed in two years. An extension may be granted by the Director of Graduate Programs. General Degree Requirements The Master of Education program includes a minimum of 33 semester hours, with the following course distribution: 1. nine semester hours in the leadership core; 2. twenty-one semester hours in the area of professional specialization; 3. three semester hours of electives; and 4. successful completion of the Research Application Project (RAP). In addition to the course requirements, students participating in the leadership in schools strand of the M.Ed. program who are seeking a principal endorsement must provide evidence of three years of 98 Master of Education teaching experience on a valid certificate in an accredited K-12 school, one year of which includes classroom teaching experience or direct services to students. Workshop Credits No more than three semester hours of graduate credit received in workshops may be applied to the master’s program. Such credit must be approved by the Director of Graduate Programs. The workshops accepted must be conducted under the auspices of a regionally accredited, degree-granting institution and must be at the graduate level. Research Application Project The Research Application Project (RAP) begins during a threecredit course that is the final practicum experience of the degree program. Students receive instruction in basic research techniques and are required to apply and synthesize learning from the entire program in a major research project. The project must benefit the school district, require a synthesis of knowledge and skills, include data to prove a need for the research, and present a review of current literature relevant to the topic. In addition, the RAP should be focused on creating the potential for positive change in the school and provide valid recommendations for future research. A Research Application Project proposal is presented by the student to his or her Graduate Committee Chairperson and must be approved prior to the collection of data. The project is defended and presented according to the specific procedures outlined in the Graduate Program Handbook. Satisfactory completion of a Research Application Project is required to successfully complete the degree program. Graduate Committee The culminating event of the Master of Education program is the Research Application Project (RAP). For this research and writing process, a graduate committee is formed to oversee progress of the RAP and be present for the final presentation and defense of the project. Work on the RAP begins during the final practicum experience of the degree program within each of the concentration areas. The faculty member assigned to teach the final practicum class is also automatically assigned as committee chairperson for the graduate students enrolled in the practicum class. The committee chairperson possesses the responsibility of advising and ensuring that the RAP is completed in a manner consistent with existing guidelines established by the University. A second member of the committee is selected as the on-site advisor. The on-site member of the committee is generally an approved person at the student’s worksite that possesses abilities to appropriately advise the graduate student regarding research and writing associated with the RAP. The third and final member of the committee is a faculty member that is requested based on mutual consent of the committee chairperson and the student. The person acting as Director of Graduate Programs is not eligible to serve on a committee during this process. Second Master’s Degree In most cases, a student seeking a second master’s degree will earn a minimum of 24 semester hours at the University of Sioux Falls specific to his or her second master’s degree program. The program leading to the 24 semester hours must include course work in research techniques and the professional core. An official
transcript must be submitted to the Director of Graduate Programs for analysis to determine appropriate coursework and to develop a degree plan meeting the specific needs of the student. Factors such as the age of the previous degree and coursework alignment may be considered by the Director of Graduate Programs in determining semester hours required to complete a second master’s degree.
