Master of Science Programs
The Mathewson School of Education offers several Master of Science (M.S.) programs which prepare our students for careers that play essential roles to the solution of important educational problems, either through theoretical research or applied pedagogy. Our carefully selected concentrations at the Master of Science level reflect demands of today’s dynamic and ever-changing job market in the field of education and pedagogy.
While valuing theoretical and academic domains, the M.S. programs of the Mathewson School of Education place greater emphases on responding effectively to the diverse learning needs of our national school systems and essential necessities required for the students’ success. Our goal is to help the students work closely with the leading scholars in education and gradually develop their own methodologies and approaches to pedagogy. The Mathewson School of Education’s Master of Science programs are designed to create differentiated learning experiences required for success in the 21st century education. The Mathewson School of Education is the only graduate school in the United States that offers the Master of Science (M.S.) degree in education with the major in Georgian Language and Literature.
The Mathewson School of Education offers more than just the traditional online experience. It combines in-class seminars and examinations with online guidance. It provides its Master of Science students with valuable extra-curricular opportunities to exchange ideas with expert educators, participate in international pedagogic seminars and debates, and attend the ESAP ‑ the European Study Abroad Program of Georgian International University which gives our students unique opportunities to study, as well as teach in Europe, and receive full certifications and dual degrees from premier European academic institutions. Although generally attending the ESAP is not mandatory for our M.S. candidates, it is highly recommended. The ESAP will provide unique opportunities to learn different perspectives on pedagogy and exchange ideas in the global community of teachers and educators.
