Policy, adult learning, and campus operations—explicitly not a U.S. teacher licence.
Online or on campus
Minnesota’s licensure architecture is real, and this MA does not sit inside it. The degree is for advisors, programme coordinators, nonprofit educators, and campus staff who need academic literacy about how systems work—funding, adult learners, assessment integrity—without a back door into a teaching licence. You will read policy, design non-licensure curricula honestly, and refuse ‘leadership’ titles that imply principal licensure. Dual-pathway delivery is part of the content: how a Austin campus and a tuition-free online pathway remain one award. Applicants state primary mode. Language waiver includes U.S. regionally accredited bachelor's. There is no student-teaching, no methods-of-teaching licence practicum, and no implied principal pathway. You will write education-studies inquiry that cites Minnesota policy as environment, not as a back door into PELSB. Faculty will fail capstones that market graduates as licensed teachers. Adult learners, dual-pathway assessment integrity, and public-information fences are core objects of study. Invented CAEP or teacher-education stickers are forbidden in student artefacts as well as in Frontier marketing. HLC and DEAC are Frontier’s published institutional story; this MA does not add a teacher-education accreditation Frontier does not claim for this programme. No CAEP sticker invented for the page.
Thirty-six credits: policy literacy, adult and dual-pathway learning, assessment and ethics, and a non-licensure capstone. Three-credit courses. No practicum that implies classroom licensure.
