Late breaking news about the CAS program goes here---- updated: 8/29/05
Overview of the CAS Program The Certificate of Advanced Study in Literacy (CAS) provides students the opportunity to pursue professional development beyond the Masters degree. Some applicants will use this program to renew and update their professional knowledge after completing their MS in Reading or Literacy, and having taught in the field for several years. Some will come into the program with master's degrees and professional experience in other fields (e.g., elementary education, special education, content areas), seeking additional expertise in literacy. The program is designed to be flexible and is tailored to the specific literacy goals of each applicant. The program consists of 60 credit hours, with the following course distribution requirements: 42 hours in Reading, and 9 hours in Allied Cources in Professional Education. CAS students must take a qualifying examination. They can either complete a Literacy Research Project on a topic chosen in consultation with their advisor, or take and pass the Comprehensive Examination (shared with the PhD Program).
