Degree Offered

Master of Arts in Career and Technical Education

Program Description:

The 100% online Master of Arts in Career & Technical Education from Ball State University (NCA accredited) is designed primarily to meet the needs of current teachers of Career and Technical courses at the secondary or community college level, or those who conduct industrial training.
Teachers enrolled in this program typically prepare their students for careers in welding, building trades, automotive maintenance, and other technical areas. However, their master’s concentrate on CTE curriculum, instruction, research, student organizations, and similar areas. This master’s does not provide initial teacher licensure, but some of the courses it contains may be used in pursuit of a teaching license. Although this program is online, on-campus assistantships with stipends and tuition waivers are available at our Muncie, Indiana, campus.

Log-in from any computer on the Internet.
Learn from top professors.
There's plenty of personal contact.
These online courses are of the same high quality as face-to-face courses, but they typically cost much less. (See: www.bsu.edu/bursar/)

Most students meet the admissions requirement of a 2.75 undergraduate GPA, and a bachelor’s in any field from an accredited university, though there are other options listed on our Website. Up to 9 hours may be transferred in to this 30-credit hour degree. Apply for admissions by submitting an application through http://www.bsu.edu/gradschool/admissions/, paying a $35 admissions fee, and sending official undergraduate transcripts to the BSU Graduate School.
