Programs

The Department provides a Master’s of Education (M.Ed.) in Curriculum and Instruction and in Educational Administration. Requirements for the Master’s program in Educational Administration can be completed at either the campus in Brookings or at the West River Graduate Center in Rapid City. The Curriculum and Instruction program is available in Brookings. Many of the courses are also offered through the SDSU Sioux Falls program and online.

Curriculum and Instruction (C&I)
A degree in this area is appropriate for K-12 classroom teachers, recreation program staff, adult and community educators, Cooperative Extension Service personnel, and junior/community college instructors.

Within the major, the following specializations are available: Elementary and Secondary Education, Career and Technical Education, Adult and Higher Education. Emphases under Elementary and Secondary Education are (English, mathematics, social studies, etc.) and English as a Second Language. Much of the Curriculum and Instruction coursework is available through distance education.

Educational Administration (EDAD)
This major is designed to provide the basic professional preparation for those who expect to become qualified administrators in schools where certification is required, and for other institutions, businesses, industries and service-oriented agencies where an administrative program is of value. The South Dakota Board of Education requires three years of teaching experience for administrator certification.

Within the Educational Administration major, the following specializations are presently available: Elementary Administration, Secondary Administration, Career and Technical Education, and Adult and Higher Education. A large portion of the Educational Administration program is available through distance education. Candidates may fulfill the South Dakota Department of Education’s K-12 Principalship endorsement by completing additional course work beyond the current Elementary and Secondary specializations.
