The Master of Education (MEd) in Elementary Education at the University of Pittsburgh School of Education is a specialized, 36-credit graduate program designed for individuals already certified in elementary education. The program deepens pedagogical skills and knowledge, emphasizing research, curriculum development, and practical expertise for elementary educators. Advanced standing options are available for those who completed their teaching certification at Pitt or another accredited institution—allowing up to 18 transfer credits from Pitt or up to 12 credits from elsewhere toward the MEd. All students develop an individualized study plan in consultation with an advisor and are required to complete a research paper or thesis equivalent and a comprehensive examination before graduation. 来源： https://www.gradstudies.pitt.edu
