Career and Technology Education Studies

These four course certificate programs are offered at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

More information can be found on the Certificate in CTE (PTE Licensure) page.

This four course pathway is offered at the undergraduate and graduate levels. As part of the certificate program, students can complete the three courses required for the WBL Coordinator endorsement from MSDE. Students who complete the graduate level WBL and Career Counseling Certificate program can apply those courses as electives toward the master’s degree. Students who do not wish to complete the four course certificate program can take the courses they are interested in as a non-degree seeking student. More information can be found on the WBL and Career Counseling Certificate webpage.

We offer a 30 credit Master’s (M.Ed.) degree program. There are six required courses (18 credits) concentrated on CTE curriculum, teaching methods, instructional organization and management, administration and leadership, and educational research. The four elective courses (12 credits) that are selected by the student are based on their career needs and goals.

The M.Ed. program combines Career and Technology Education content with professional education, research, and leadership theory and practice. Graduate level scholarship and research-based content will be presented throughout the program. The essential elements of teaching and assessment, leadership, and educational research will guide instructional decision-making throughout the program. More information can be found on the CTE master’s degree webpage.

We offer a 126 credit Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree program that leads to MSDE certification in Technology Education. This degree pathway is offered at our Baltimore campus at the Baltimore Museum of Industry (BMI) and in local T&E school labs and makerspaces. This pathway supports students following a 2 + 2 pathway by earning their associate’s degree at a local community college and then completing their coursework through the BMI location and a teaching internship in local school systems.
