Electives
10 semester credits
Ten semester credits of electives are selected by the student. Most elective choices are made to meet students’ personal curriculum and instructional needs. Elective credits may be earned through 6000, 7000, or 8000-level Hamline University Graduate Continuing Studies/Professional Development courses or at other accredited institutions.
At least half of the elective credits (five semester credits) must be completed through Hamline University. Up to 5 semester credits of graduate work (either through Hamline University or another accredited institution) completed prior to admission into the MAEd program may be used towards elective credits, provided the transfer criteria is met. (Official transcript clearly states course is at graduate level; course was completed within 7 years prior to admission; applicant received a letter grade of B- or above.)
If you have earned a Hamline certificate or license, you may bring in 10 semester credits to fulfill the elective requirement.
Transfer of credit for course work completed prior to degree program admission occurs after successful completion of GED 8020 Explorations: Reflection, Community Building, and Knowledge Construction.
