Overview

Key Features

This program includes coursework that focuses on applying research and theory to classroom practice. The program requires students to select “track” of specialization in STEM, mathematics, or as a generalist. Thus, the program can be tailored for individual interests. The tracks within the MS in Elementary Education program can also lead to a Graduate Certificate in Mathematics Pedagogy and/or work toward the Graduate Certificate in Reading. 

In addition to the coursework completed for the selected track, students also complete research/capstone coursework. There is additional electives, so students can select coursework that is particularly relevant to their work and interests. 

The MS in Elementary Education at Minnesota State University Mankato is designed to influence teachers’ ability to design and enact effective assessment and instruction for the diverse needs of all children in elementary school and, further, supports teachers to be consumers and producers of scholarship that informs effective instructional practices. 

Therefore, educators in the MS in Elementary Education program complete a capstone project that demonstrates their ability to synthesize scholarship in a specific area and communicate the practical implications of that scholarship to other educators in meaningful ways in order to influence and improve educators' instructional practice.
