Coursework and Thesis Sequence
Welcome to BYU's Teacher Education Masters Program!
To help students stay organized throughout their studies, we have provided the following comprehensive schedule. Once the student has accepted admission, they will be assigned an orientation advisor. Attending orientation provides an opportunity for students to meet faculty and peers and learn about the curriculum. Take advantage of this time to ask questions and connect with your cohort. We are excited to work with you as you embark on this exciting journey in your education career.
