Kristen Gehsmann, Chair, 204-A Speight Building

The mission of the Department of Literacy Studies, English Education, and History Education is to prepare pre-service and in-service teachers in the areas of curriculum and instruction (with concentrations in English education and history/social studies education) and reading education. Departmental faculty members are committed to providing comprehensive programs with substantive clinical experiences. The programs are designed to produce teachers who are reflective practitioners, competent researchers, and who provide service to the community, the state, and the nation.

The department offers the master of arts in education (MAEd)  in curriculum and instruction with specific concentrations for those holding an undergraduate degree and a teaching license in their field. Students acquire instructional processes and tools that prepare departmental, school, or district teacher leaders in their chosen field. Current concentrations include English education (ENED) with eligibility for 9-12 English education advanced licensure, and history/social studies education (HIED) with eligibility for 9-12 social studies advanced licensure.

The department also supports the master of arts in teaching (MAT)  in English education and the master of arts in teaching, MAT  in history education. Each is offered for individuals who possess an undergraduate degree, but who do not hold an initial teaching license. Successful completion of the MAT leads to initial teaching licensure.
