The highly respected graduate education program at Carson-Newman has helped hundreds of educators reach their professional goals and become leaders in the field of education. Designed for graduate students who are already working full time, flexibility is a hallmark of the M.Ed. program. Completed in half-semester units, you’ll take six hours each semester but only one course at a time. You may complete studies entirely online or in a hybrid format. In several locations across the state, you can take up to four classes in a face-to-face format. Choose your area of emphasis for the specialty you’d like to pursue.
