Catholic School Educators Scholarships

Half-tuition scholarships for Catholic school educators are available to any administrator, teacher, guidance counselor, special educator or librarian who is currently employed in a Catholic preschool, elementary school or secondary school, and who intends to continue working in a Catholic school setting. These half-tuition scholarships may be used by graduate students in any school of the University except the Columbus School of Law. These half-tuition scholarships apply to the regular graduate tuition and not to the professional per-credit-hour tuition.

Degree Programs and Requirements

The Department of Education offers graduate opportunities in Secondary Education on the Master’s level and in the Graduate Teacher Certification Programs. Candidates in all these teacher education programs are also eligible to apply for a teaching credential with the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) in DC upon completion of all requirements.

Any graduate candidate who obtains two or more grades below B- in coursework in his or her graduate program is subject to academic dismissal. For any graduate candidate in the teacher education program, no course with a grade below B- will be counted toward certification.

If a graduate candidate has taken a required course and received a grade of F, the candidate must repeat the course to earn a grade of B- or higher. A candidate may choose to repeat a course in an effort to earn a better grade regardless of the initial grade received. In both cases, the following rules apply:

The candidate may repeat the course only once.
Whether higher or lower, the later grade will be used in computing the grade point average.
The candidate will only receive credit for taking the course once.

Continuous enrollment is required of all candidates in degree and certificate programs unless an authorized academic leave has been granted. Failure to maintain continuous enrollment or to obtain an official academic leave is considered to be evidence that the student has withdrawn from the university.

Master of Arts Degree (MA)

NOTE: Applications and Admissions are suspended indefinitely.

The Master’s program consists of a minimum of 30 semester hours of post-baccalaureate coursework, completion of research assignments, and a capstone Action Research Project. All Master’s candidates are required to complete nine hours of study in general education courses (i.e., core requirement). The remainder of the coursework is completed in one of the two specialty areas (Secondary Education. With the addition of a student teaching semester (12 credit hours), the eligibility to apply for a teaching credential is available in Secondary English, Math, or Social Studies Education.

Applicants who are teaching full-time in the area of specialization may be eligible to substitute enrollment in a 4-credit student teaching experience together with a student teaching seminar.

Core Requirement

The core course requirement comprises three 3-credit courses. Successful completion of the following courses is mandatory for fulfilling this requirement:

EDUC 525 Psychology of Learning for Diverse Populations

EDUC 699 Introduction to Educational Research

EDUC 702 Advanced Foundations of Education

Transfer credit for the above courses is not usually allowed. Note, however, the University policy permits the transfer of up to six semester credit hours of previous graduate work into the Master’s program with the approval of the candidate's academic adviser and the Dean of the School of Arts & Sciences. In addition, the Department of Education will normally consider for transfer only credits earned in the five-year period immediately preceding the candidate's admission to the University, and for which the candidate earned a grade of B or better.

Other Requirements

In addition to the core Education courses, candidates must satisfy the requirements for subject area coursework in English, History or Mathematics, usually 36 hours, for credentialing. A Transcript Analysis and Program of Studies is a projection of the candidate's series of courses. It must be approved by the candidate’s academic adviser and the Department Chair, and it must be filed in the candidate's departmental records before the end of the first year of study. Approval of a projected program does not obligate the University to offer all the courses listed.

Comprehensive Capstone Project: Action Research Paper

Requirements: Teacher Education Master’s candidates write an Action Research Paper (ARP) during their final teaching experience while enrolled in a field experience course.

Criteria for the Action Research Paper include a clear statement of educational philosophy, use of pretest data to document the problem under study, use of the reflective framework to examine dilemmas related to teaching strategies, use of scholarly literature to explore appropriate interventions, implementation of an intervention, use of posttest data to document the effect of the intervention on student learning, and personal reflection about the processes involved with transforming one’s teaching. This paper must be 20-40 pages in length and include at least 20 scholarly references. The faculty member who supervises the candidate during the field experience course evaluates the paper using the ARP Comprehensive Exam Scoring Guide (rubric). The candidate’s average score must meet expectations; i.e., it must be ≥ 4.0., on a six point scale. Completed ARP papers must be approved by the assigned faculty member and by the Department Chair. They indicate their approval by signing the “Comprehensive Exam Action Research Paper Form”, which includes an abstract of the paper. Papers must be submitted to the department before the graduation deadline date in order to graduate in the same semester.

Candidates must submit their Action Research Paper (ARP) electronically in Live Text, the department’s web-based learning environment.

Credentialing Test Requirements:

Master’s candidates in teacher education need to take the PRAXIS II content knowledge tests relevant for their area of specialization in order to be admitted to student teaching. Passing scores on the PRAXIS CORE/CASE tests as well as on the PRAXIS II content knowledge test and PRAXIS II pedagogical knowledge test relevant to the area of specialization are required for certification. Knowledge in the specific content -area is considered a prerequisite for the program. Through a transcript review, applicants must demonstrate successful completion of 30-36 credit hours of coursework in their licensure content-area.

Requirements in the specific content-area must be completed prior to student teaching.

Graduate Teacher Certification Program (Non-degree, Certification only)

NOTE: Applications and Admissions are suspended indefinitely.

A Graduate Teacher Certification Program (GTCP) is available in Secondary English Education, Secondary Social Studies Education, and Secondary Mathematics Education.

Admission to the GTCP does not require scores on either the GRE or MAT.

The GTCP coursework overlaps with the coursework required for the Master’s in teacher education, but candidates do not have to take comprehensive examinations and are not required to complete research papers in EDUC 702; yet, they are required to complete an Action Research Project (ARP) during their student teaching experience. Knowledge in the specific content-area is considered a prerequisite for the program. Through a transcript review, applicants must demonstrate successful completion of 30-36 credit hours of coursework in their licensure content-area. Requirements in the specific content-area must be completed prior to student teaching.

The Secondary Education GTCP consists of 15 credit hours of coursework plus 12 credit hours for student teaching together with a student teaching seminar. Applicants who are teaching full-time in the area of specialization may be eligible to substitute enrollment in a 4-credit student teaching experience together with a student teaching seminar. GTCP candidates must take the PRAXIS II Content Knowledge Test in their area of licensure before student teaching and pass the PRAXIS II Content Knowledge Test and PRAXIS II Principles of Learning and Teaching Test in order to obtain the license in the subject of interest.
