While the degree is in literacy, the focus of the program is preparing teachers to infuse literacy strategies into instructional activities at any grade level or in any content area.
The program consists of a 30-credit, 9-course sequence that may be completed in 2
regular semesters and 1 summer (one calendar year). As a student in the program, you
