College of Education Graduate Programs 
Go Online
Technology  
Teaching class during the day and grading homework at night, educators have little free time in their busy schedules.
 
That's why the College of Education began offering self-paced, 100 percent online master's degree programs for teachers and professionals who would like to become educators.
 
Certified teachers can now apply for a Master of Education (M.Ed.) degree program in reading, language and literacy education, with a concentration in teaching English for speakers of other languages, and M.Ed. programs in mathematics or science education.
 
Also, for provisionally certified teachers and paraprofessionals in Georgia working with English language learners, the college offers an online Master of Arts (M.A.T.) degree program in reading, language and literacy education.
 
Students interact with their professors and other students in chat rooms, discussion boards, e-mail and video and voice conferencing.
 
"There are opportunities for them to meet in real-time with video clips to provide feedback to each other, as well as to work on modules independently and apply that to their classrooms," said Joyce Many, associate dean of academic programs in the College of Education.
 
Georgia State's College of Education is one of the colleges in the University System of Georgia offering online graduate teacher education programs, as part of "Georgia ONmyLINE," a program launched in 2007 by the Board of Regents.

"Teachers at all levels are in education because they have a special commitment to the generations that follow them. As a retired faculty member in the College of Education, I continue to have that commitment. Through contributing financially to the college every year, I feel that I have a personal role in supporting its wonderful growth and development; and it is my way of contributing to the present and future generations."
