The Graduate Education Programs at Utah Valley University is an applied master’s program aimed at building the instructional skills and professional competency of educators, practitioners, and behavior analysts. Our goal is to help you gain the research-based knowledge and skills that will enable you to be a leader in clinical settings, the classroom, school, district, or higher education institution.
All students are required to complete coursework in research, theory, and practical applications of the knowledge relevant to their areas of expertise. Each student must also complete a final master's project/capstone/portfolio pertaining to their field - according to degree requirements.
When I was searching for a Master’s program, I wanted to make sure I had one that
included hands-on learning and in-person instruction. Utah Valley University’s Master
of K-12 Educational Leadership program not only met those needs but provided me with rich knowledge in data-based
decision making, instructional leadership, school operations management, and diversity
and differentiation in education. The program prepared me well for my current administrative
position and I also made lifelong friendships that I continue to rely on for support.
The faculty not only cares about your success but helps you along your journey by
providing assistance as you progress through the program.”
My favorite part of the program is the professors. Their encouragement, their understanding
of my weaknesses and my fears and they were just always so positive and encouraging
and working with me, understanding the situations I was in week to week, maybe with
my job or with my family. They really work well with me personally and with the other
students in my cohort."
I am passionate about reaching out and leaning into the work of school counseling,
helping students on a larger scale. UVU's school counseling program provided the opportunity
to continue my educatioon—a framework built to increase my capacity, knowledge, skills,
and enlarge my circle of influence so that I can be a safe person, in a safe place,
as a school counselor."
I had been teaching for 15 years and wanted to pursue an instructional coaching position
with my district. This degree helped me get the job I wanted and helped me learn how
best to help teachers.
My experience at UVU and in the School Counseling program has been incredible! The
supportive cohort, dedicated professors, and comprehensive curriculum have equipped
me with the skills and passion needed to excel as an effective school counselor."
UVU’s School Counseling Program is amazing! I had little experience in the K-12 education
field and was nervous to start the program. With the help of the outstanding professors,
the camaraderie of the cohort, and the strategic set up of the program, I feel confident
and prepared to enter this field and make a positive impact on students."To be considered for admissions, individuals interested in earning their M.Ed. at UVU must successfully complete all admission criteria*:
