Designed to help educators meet the challenges of today’s schools and society, this program continues Hamline’s tradition of relevant curriculum, outstanding faculty, and personal attention. The curriculum is strongly inspired by the HSE conceptual framework: build learning communities, advocate for equity and social justice, construct knowledge, and practice reflection and inquiry. The curriculum builds on your knowledge and prior experience and links theory to practice. Instructional strategies promote reflection, engagement, and collaboration. At the heart of the curriculum is a set of guiding questions that stimulate thought-provoking discussion and professional growth. Elective credits are chosen based on personal and professional interests and needs. A Hamline certificate or license may be applied as electives.
The MAEd program is available in three formats:
Traditional MAEd
The traditional option meets on Hamline’s Saint Paul campus and is conducted in a traditional classroom setting.
Online MAEd
Required courses are facilitated by faculty online during the fall and spring terms. Active engagement in learning is expected beginning with the first week of class; weekly learning schedules are posted, and synchronous activities may be required.
Off-Campus MAEd
Required courses combine online and face-to-face learning, allowing you to complete your MAEd alongside a committed group of collaborative teachers and learners in a location convenient to you.
