Producing Educators/Educational Leaders Since 1866
Since enrolling future educators in its first class in 1866, Lebanon Valley College has produced countless teachers, innovators, and educational administrators. Using that history of excellence as its foundation, the College created its Master of Education Program (M.Ed.) to meet educators’ classroom and professional needs in any discipline. The LVC M.Ed. program is convenient and affordable for educators looking to integrate current educational trends and pedagogies into their K-12 classrooms. The program’s modular design, which includes the option to earn a stand-alone certificate(s), follows current educational trends, combined with the flexibility to help you achieve your goals.
Fast Facts
Master of Education Program Structure

1. Two Certificates
Complete two, 12-credit certificates (see list of options below). The concentration focus enables learners to solely earn a 12-credit certificate or earn two certificates on their way to the master's degree in education.
2. Two Core Courses
Students must complete two, 3-credit foundational courses to earn the degree. Core courses are based on the certificates chosen, as certificate requirements cannot meet core requirements. View core courses below.
3. Culminating Project
The program culminates in a project that highlights accomplishment in your area of study.
