Students admitted to the College of Education may select Middle Childhood Education (MCED) as their major. Applicants to advanced study in MCED will be reviewed by the Middle Childhood Education faculty toward the end of the sophomore year.

Consider applying to the Master of Education in Reading Specialization program (M.Ed.). You earn the K-12 endorsement within this program. You have a total of 6 years to complete this degree. You would have 18 hours (6 courses) left after the reading endorsement courses to complete your degree. You may also apply as graduate non-degree for the endorsement program only. However please note only 12 hours will transfer to a master’s program if you apply as graduate non-degree.
Go to the Application page.
In addition to completing the reading endorsement coursework, you must take the following test: OAE Reading (K-12) exam, subtest 1 (38) and 2 (39). Please note that Kent State cannot process a request to the State of Ohio for the Reading Endorsement without test scores.
