Graduate Programs

Masters of Education

Relevant, Flexible, and Affordable.  We Understand!

Graceland University's School of Education is proud to be a leader in online education. We understand that teachers lead extremely busy lives and take the responsibility of shaping students lives very seriously. Every program we offer is carefully designed to provide relevant content that can often be immediately used in a teacher's classroom. Our online format allows teachers the flexibility to learn when it is convenient for them because we know that teacher's hours are not 9 to 5.  We also realize that teachers need to make the most of their money, so we have made every effort to keep our tuition affordable.

Here is one fact to illustrate how well we understand teacher's needs.

97% of our graduates would recommend our online programs to a friend.

Here are two other things to keep in mind. In 2007, our School of Education was awarded the United States Distance Learning Association's (USDLA) Platinum Award for Best Practices. We have also chosen to be accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). We take our education seriously!

We offer five Masters of Education to meet the various needs and interests of teachers. We welcome you to explore each of these programs to see which would be most applicable to you.
