Education
  Overview
Lee University’s Master of Education embodies the developmental process of becoming a teacher by encouraging self analysis and reflection and facilitating passage toward higher levels of excellence in teaching. This degree program is available for those who hold a Bachelor of Arts in Education and/or who have licensure to teach.

This program can be completed through three intensive summer sessions on Lee University’s campus, two intensive mid-winter break sessions, and four units of distance learning classes to be completed while teaching in the country of assignment. These distance learning courses offered during the academic year will be of two types: directed studies supervised by Lee faculty, and practicum experiences.

Prerequisites
An undergraduate degree with a minimum 2.75 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale is required for admission. In addition, applicants must score at the 35th percentile on either the Miller Analogies Test (MAT) or the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Provisional admission may be granted for applicants who do not meet these criteria. For additional prerequisite information, please contact the Lee University Department of Graduate Admissions.

Requirements
Students must complete a minimum of 34 units for the Master of Education degree. Credits from the TEFL Certificate awarded after ELIC's August training are transferable for credit into this degree program
