The IECE Master of Education program may be completed as an entirely online program, an entirely on-campus program, or as a hybrid program in which a combination of on-campus and online courses are taken. Students completing the program online will enroll in course sections designated for distance students, and students completing the program on-campus will enroll in course sections designated for on-campus students. Both on-campus and online students receive the same content and jointly attend class in technology-enhanced classrooms (i.e., online students participate in synchronous courses through Zoom technology).  

The IECE Master of Education program allows students to complete the program with or without conducting a Thesis. Students choosing to conduct a Thesis will complete 30 credit hours. Students choosing not to conduct a Thesis will complete 36 credit hours and present a Capstone Project to program faculty. It is recommended that students discuss Thesis and non-Thesis options with program faculty on an individual basis to determine an appropriate option for completing the IECE Master of Education program.
