Notes:

Students must incorporate all focus requirements into this plan. Focus designations (i.e., W, E, O, H) are CRN specific & semester specific.
Minimum 45 upper division (300+ course) credits are required. Gateway course EDEP 311 must be completed with a grade of B or better.
*Courses are double-counted for both the BA and MEd. For those courses, students must earn grades of B or better. An overall GPA of 3.0 is required.
The Elective 400+ course is in excess of the BA requirements and will count toward the MEd. The Educational Psychology Graduate Chair must approve this course, and students should submit a petition to Graduate Division during the registration period for the credits intended for submission toward the MEd.
With the double-counted courses, the actual minimum number of total credits taken by students is 142, but the “Total Credits” earned after completion of the MEd is 151, reflecting 121 credits earned for the BA and 30 credits earned for the MEd.
