Education

A teacher effects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.

       Henry Adams 1907 

Our MAE graduates often share examples of their affect on students with us. Many of our graduates have won Teacher of the Year awards and other accolades, written grants to fund exciting projects/programs, created after school programs for struggling students, developed clubs for students (e.g., dance, running, logic, reading), participated in national conferences, and earned degrees in administration. Our graduates have vast influence and achieve high job satisfaction.  

The Master of Arts in Education (MAE) Program at Truman State University is steeped in hands-on experiences with students. You will have multiple opportunities to make sure this is the right profession for you. Our excellent one-year program creates superb teachers through practical experiences, small class sizes, and faculty expertise. Further, you will build lifelong friends among your peers. 

A liberal arts undergraduate education provides you a strong foundation of knowledge and skills. This liberal arts education is a prerequisite to begin the MAE. You can earn certification in multiple areas. We have three programs at Truman State University—special education, elementary education, and secondary education (e.g., physics, mathematics, history, English, fine arts, music, etc.). Further, we have opportunities for early childhood and middle school certification. Once you have completed the MAE you are well-prepared to begin your career in the teaching profession and have the opportunity to earn a higher salary with a masters degree.  

We welcome the opportunity to talk with you about our different internships and opportunities. Please visit our links and call the Department of Education Office if you would like more information.
