The M.Ed in Secondary Education has three program options:

1. A 'fast-track' one-year professional program (http://uas.arizona.edu/secondaryeducation  ) that allows students holding bachelor's degrees to meet Arizona provisional certification standards and earn an M.Ed in as little as 12 months. The program admists students on a rolling basis.
2. The Transition to Teaching (http://uas.arizona.edu/transition-to-teaching ) T2T option is a federally-funded program that prepares STEM teachers for border schools in Southeastern Arizona. The 16-month program provides students numerous benefits and opportunities for funding. Applications due April 30, program begins June 4. For more information, contact Sally Holcomb, sholcomb@email.arizona.edu .
3. The Borderland Consortium (http://uas.arizona.edu/programs/bcaspc ) is an alternative path to certification and provides unlicensed, beginning teachers the opportunity to teach as Highly Qualified teaches on a state-issued intern certificate while they pursue their M.Ed. This program has rolling admissions.

SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS

Course Concerns:

Please note that there are specific written procedures and protocols for student concerns about a class, classroom instruction or a professor. Notice that procedures follow the same protocols as the grade appeal policy and can be found in the 2011-12 General Catalog.

In short:

Step 1: Discuss the matter(s) with the instructor.
Step II: If the matter is not resolved with the instructor, speak with the division chair.
Step III: If the matter is not resolved with the instructor and the division chair, speak with the dean. Failure to comply with precise protocol can result in a violation and sanctions may be put in place.
Step IV: If the matter is not satisfactorily resolved, you may file a grievance with the UA South Graduate Program Council.

Please note that the University of Arizona is very clear on student academic conduct and dishonesty (e.g. plagiarism). It is the student's responsibility to familiarize themselves with the University of Arizona's code. The University of Arizona Library has plagiarism resources that can be located here:
