The program is designed to prepare individuals for careers in Career and Technical Education and to enhance the professional development of current career educators. The CTE program offers a Master of Science degree (M.S.), and a Education Specialist degree (Ed.S.).

There are two delivery options for the M.S. degree program: on-campus and online.   The on-campus option is an accelerated program focused on teacher licensure.  Students earn a master's degree and all the Virginia Department of Education requirements for earning a license to teach in CTE in 10 months.   The endorsement areas offered for the on-campus licensure option are:

  • Agricultural Education
  • Business and Information Technology
  • Family and Consumer Sciences 
  • Marketing Education
  • Technology Education

The online option for the M.S.Ed. in Career and Technical Education has two concentration areas.   The first concentration area is for practicing educators who wish to further their pedagogical knowledge, but already have full teacher licensure.   The second option is for teachers who hold a provisional licensure, but lack the courses they need for full licensure.   Both concentrations can be completed in approximately 2 years when attending part time.   Endorsement areas serviced are:

  • Agricultural Education
  • Business and Information Technology 
  • Family and Consumer Sciences 
  • Health and Medical Sciences
  • Marketing Education
  • Trade and Industrial Education
  • Technology Education

The Ed.S. degree is appropriate for individuals who seek careers in CTE programs at the local or state level and who already hold a master's degree.
