Master of Education - Core courses
All MEd students must take the sequence of core courses. Core courses are taught in a hybrid format - mostly online with two Saturdays a term on-campus. Online classes are taught through WISE (internal web portal) as well as other engaging, technical instructional tools. On-campus classes will be held in the Willamette University Graduate School of Education in Salem, Oregon. The Graduate School of Education offers plenty of classroom, computer lab and meeting space.
In addition to the core courses, all students must select a specialty area to fulfill the degree requirements.
