About Master of Education - Secondary Education - Talent Development
Since its inception in 1899 as a teachers college, Texas State University has continuously prepared educators who will bring about positive change in schools. Texas State proudly offers a variety of Master of Arts (M.A.) and Master of Education (M.Ed.) programs in Secondary Education for graduate students who aspire to make significant educational contributions in schools and other educational settings. The program's most famous graduate is Lyndon Baines Johnson, who taught speech in a public school in Texas before becoming President of the United States.
The course options that are integrated into these degree programs offer valuable opportunities for additional depth or breadth according to students’ goals and interests.
The M.A. and M.Ed. degree programs in Secondary Education with a concentration in Talent Development equip students with skills and conceptual knowledge for advanced teaching, mentoring, leadership roles in classrooms, educational systems, or communities. Students may choose one of two emphasis options: (a) fostering educator and student transformative learning, creativity, and talent, or (b) teaching and transforming advanced and gifted education. Graduates of these versatile degree programs are well-positioned for an array of job opportunities such as mentoring program leader; teacher of advanced, gifted, and honors classes; instructional coordinator; talent development coach; classroom teacher with enhanced creativity skills; and community-based education specialist. The programs also provide a foundation for doctoral studies in education.
Students may pursue the 30-credit M.A. (thesis option) or the 30-credit M.Ed. (non-thesis option). It is possible for students to complete either of the master’s programs online.
In either emphasis option within the M.A. and the M.Ed. programs, students explore learning, creativity, talent development, research-informed practices, and the transformation of practices, possibilities, policies, and assumptions. Students critically consider big ideas while building useful skills for fostering flourishing and for meaningfully addressing the educational complexities of their current or future work and today’s educational issues.
