The University of Michigan-Flint’s School of Education and Human Services offers a Master of Arts (MA) degree in Education with concentrations in Early Childhood Education, Literacy (K-12), Special Education, and Technology in Education, and a concentration in Elementary Education with Certification (MAC program). Specialist endorsements in Early Childhood Education, Reading, Special Education (Cognitive Impairment or Learning Disabilities), and Educational Technology are also available. Note: The MAC program is not currently accepting new students.

Time Limit to Complete Degree

A student in a master’s program is expected to complete all work within five years from the date of first enrollment in the program. Students exceeding this time limit must file a petition with Academic Standards. Petitions must describe explicitly the amount of work remaining and a timeline for completion. A student who fails to complete degree requirements within five years may be withdrawn and required to reapply for readmissions. Courses that are older than five years may not be counted toward their new degree requirements.
