Master's Degree in Education - Teacher Certification

Ottawa University's Master of Arts in Education/Teacher Certification programs offer students the opportunity to earn their master's degree by taking only five additional courses after completion of their teacher certification. Students will complete the teacher certification program by taking all of their certification courses first and doing their student teaching last. Upon completion of the required courses, students can obtain their certification through the Arizona Department of Education. Students then have the option of continuing with the graduate program to earn their master's degree through five additional courses.

The following concentrations for the MAED/Teacher Certification program are available:
