Thesis/Non-Thesis Requirements
In addition to 33 hours of coursework, to complete a Master of Education (MEd), students must write a reflective capstone paper, drawing on knowledge gained throughout the program.
Admissions
Applicants are required to meet two sets of minimum qualifications for admission: the requirements of the MEd in Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis and the minimum requirements of the Graduate School. Because requirements vary, you must refer to a degree program's graduate admission page to learn about specific admission criteria, application deadlines, eligibility and application process. Your application materials will be reviewed by both the Graduate School and the degree program to which you’ve applied before official admission to the University of Missouri.
