Masters in Education (M.Ed.) Online + NYIF Professional Certificate

In our M.Ed. program, you will learn how to apply the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework to proactively design capacity-building learning experiences. Within UDL, learner variability, whether visible or invisible, is seen as an asset. Based in cognitive neuroscience, UDL focuses on designing with variability in mind and removing barriers to learning by frontloading flexible options for engaging learners, teaching important concepts, and building goal-directed learners. In your coursework, you will experience the UDL framework firsthand as program faculty model the principles and actively engage you in applying UDL in your own practice. NYIF will provide part of professional courses, career planning and soft skill coaching, and internship.

Up to 12 credits can be granted to students entering the program — six from prior learning as part of the Alternative Route to Certification, and six from previous teaching experience. Pending portfolio review of these credits, students will be able to complete the remaining 18 credits in as few as 12 months part-time.

This is a joint program offered by Goodwin University and University of Bridgeport. You will learn alongside fellow students from both universities and share experiences in a richly diverse learning environment. Upon completion, your master’s degree will list both universities.
