MARTIN, Tenn. – Those seeking to earn master’s degrees in education or business
administration from the University of Tennessee at Martin will have fewer credit hours to
complete beginning with the fall 2019 semester.
Students pursuing a master’s degree in education with a major in teaching and concentrations in
initial licensure for either elementary or secondary education will need to complete 36 credit
hours instead of the previous 42 hours, and those with concentrations in interdisciplinary
education and curriculum and instruction will need to complete 30 hours instead of the previous
37 hours. Students pursuing a master’s degree in business administration with a general business
concentration will need to complete 30 credit hours instead of the previous 38.
These reductions, in combination with a seven-week course structure, will allow graduate-level
students to complete their degrees in as few as three semesters or one calendar year.
Students seeking master’s degrees in education will also have three new options in the coming
year. New concentrations in special education and literacy have been added to the Master of
Science in Education program with a major in teaching. An option in higher education leadership
has also been added to the major in instructional leadership, formerly called educational
leadership.
UT Martin also offers graduate-level programs in agriculture and natural resources, family and
consumer science, and strategic communication. For more information, contact the UT Martin
Office of Graduate Programs at 731-881-7012.
