The program in Advanced Studies in Education is designed for individuals who have earned a master's degree and wish to complete additional graduate work without commitment to another degree program. A program of study is developed which is specific to the needs of each candidate and includes appropriate sequence of academic courses. Completion of the program leads to a Certificate of Advanced Studies. All coursework (18-30 semester hours) to the certificate must be completed at Saint Xavier University. This program may not lead to a Type 75 or Type 10 certificate.
The Certificate of Advanced Studies in technology program is a collaborative project between the School of Education and the Department of Computer Science. Students who apply for, and are accepted to, the School of Education CAS in technology program are required to take five courses (a total of 19.5 semester hours). Three of the courses will be offered by the Computer Science Department and two from the School of Education.
The CAS in technology will allow educators to meet the requirements (18 semester hour minimum) for a middle school endorsement as a (computer related) technology specialist if they complete, or have completed, the required 6 credit hours of coursework in middle school education.
