Additional graduation requirements apply to all education majors.

*Course must be taken at Shorter University.
Shorter University’s Master of Arts: Pedagogy-only program leads to an advanced degree and initial teacher certification in a middle grade (4-8), a secondary (6-12), or a P-12 field (except special education). Graduates of this program will enter the teaching profession at the master’s degree level (known as T-5 certification in Georgia) and earn a higher rate of pay than those who enter at the bachelor’s degree level. With courses offered 100% online and the ability to make arrangements for candidates to complete both field experiences and clinical practice (student teaching) in localities where they live, the program is designed with flexibility for working students.
Special Admissions Requirements
Candidates must complete a two-phase process for admission to the program. First candidates must be admitted to Shorter University, then the School of Education admits candidates into the Master of Arts in Teaching: Pedagogy-only program through an application process mandated by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission. Materials are located on the School of Education page of SCHOLAR. Information is found in the Teacher Preparation Program Handbook. Students must have a passing grade on the GACE, 21 successfully completed undergraduate hours for P-12 and 6-12, or 15 successfully completed undergraduate hours for 4-8 in the content area of choice. Due to state mandates, requirements are subject to change.
All courses within this curriculum must be taken. Shorter University reserves the right to change courses and to revise the course sequence.
