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.

The courses in the K-12 Reading Endorsement are:

• Ph.D. Plan of Study

• M.Ed. Plan of Study
