Máster en Educación

The educational policy and administration program are ideal for those who wish to pursue coaching or teaching at the college level, college administration, or working in student support or residence life. This program is also suitable for those seeking administrative positions in a K-12 education system. The secondary certification program is designed for individuals who do not currently have a teaching degree, but rather a bachelor’s degree in a content area and an interest in teaching. At the completion of this program and upon passage of the Praxis II content and Praxis PLT tests, graduates can become certified grade, 7-12 teachers. The DWU Master of Arts in education is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Accreditation Association and is affirmed by the South Dakota Department of Education.

Many universities claim to be “different.” At Dakota Wesleyan University, our deeply rooted values of lifelong learning, leadership development, faith exploration, and genuine service to others are the cornerstones of what makes us “different.” Why DWU?

Traditions embedded in our United Methodist values. Faculty who teach rigorously and care deeply. Students who exemplify synergism and develop lifelong friendships. Parents who entrust their children to the care of the college community. Faith leaders who embody conviction and principles in their ministries. Graduates who impact the world with their leadership and service. And donors who give willingly to sustain our efforts. These and countless other reasons make DWU different. Our student body is purposefully small. In fact, with a student-to-faculty ratio of 13:1, every student receives the well-rounded, personalized education they deserve.
