Master of Arts in Education (MAE)
Truman State University has a long history of excellence in teacher education. Founded in 1867 as a private school to prepare young adults for teaching and commerce, the institution transitioned in 1870 to Missouri’s first state-supported institution of higher education established for the primary purpose of preparing teachers for public schools. Today the Master of Arts in Education (M.A.E.) program continues to reflect the university’s 100+ year commitment to quality teacher preparation. Deep and rigorous content knowledge coupled with an emphasis on reflective practice insures that Truman M.A.E. teacher candidates are well prepared to meet the unique challenges facing today’s educators.
Our program is designed as a one year, including summer, initial certification program. We offer certification for elementary, special education, English, exercise science, French, Spanish, mathematics, music, science and social science.
