About the M.Ed.

For decades Cedarville University has been known to produce outstanding educators. Education professionals from the Christian, public, and private sectors eagerly seek Cedarville graduates because of the University's reputation for preparing excellent classroom teachers. Our graduate program builds upon this strength by offering courses and a master's degree program designed to enhance the effectiveness of practicing educators.

Mission

We seek to prepare compassionate, professional educators who are committed to the integration of faith, learning, and life as demonstrated in teaching competence and Christ-like character through leadership and service.

The Master of Education (M.Ed.) degree is designed to help you increase your classroom effectiveness by preparing you to assume leadership roles in your schools and the teaching profession.  Although the M.Ed. program is a non-licensure program, many course requirements may satisfy the licensure requirements for principalship and for curriculum, instructional, and personnel development (CIPD).
