MAE Curriculum for Reading Major

Those who elect to take the reading endorsement program only will complete 24 quarter hours of graduate work concentrated in reading instruction course work. The following sequence of courses may be taken by a certified teacher to add Reading Endorsement (K-12) to any valid Ohio Teaching Certificate/License.

The full degree or endorsement requires 100 clock hours of a substantive field experience. The 100 hours is not necessarily quarter-bound but is associated with EDUC 667. The student should seek the advice of the advisor at the beginning of the Reading Endorsement Program. Please refer to the current bulletin for details of the Reading Major and/or Endorsement.
