Master+of+Education+(Curriculum+and+Instruction)

Arlington Baptist College will begin offering two types of advanced degrees in education beginning in the fall of 2010:

Master of Education (Educational Administration) Master of Education (Curriculum and Instruction)

The Education Department of Arlington Baptist College is very excited about these new programs. Both degrees are for teachers who desire a master’s degree in the field of education. The Master of Education in Educational Administration is a 36 hour program that results in the individual being eligible to sit for the TExES exam which results in the successful candidate being certified as a Principal in the state of Texas. The Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction is a 36 hour program that prepares the individual to serve in many capacities in the public/Christian/private school settings. Both programs will involve two years and two summer sessions for completion of degrees.

Several graduates of Arlington Baptist College and graduates of other area colleges have expressed strong interests in enrolling in the program. An initial enrollment of 10-12 students is anticipated.

Classes will be conducted in the evening, on Saturdays, and during the summer since the target group for the program is those teachers who are currently in the classroom. The program should have a very positive effect upon public/private schools by providing Christian educators ready to serve.

To remain competitive financially with surrounding schools offering the Master of Education, a comprehensive tuition of $5000 (available to the first 20 students admitted to the program) would cover either degree offered. This plan would allow a student to earn the Master of Education degree within a 24 month time period. To ease the financial burden for the student, a payment plan would be made available: 1 initial payment of $500 due at registration and 18 payments of $250, payable monthly. Future plans for the program include an increase in tuition from $5000 to $7250.

This proposed fee schedule would allow Arlington Baptist College to remain competitive with other institutions in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex while enabling ABC to continue to provide the Christian worldview and Christian educators to a very large mission field: the public and private schools in Texas.
