If
you are a matriculated student in any of our MS programs (MS
Literacy, MS Reading), and you either are starting your program
in Spring, 2006 or are using the new program planning sheets,
then this page does not apply to you. There are NO concentration
requirements starting in Spring 2006.
If
you are a matriculated student in Literacy Specialist B-6 or
5-12, Childhood Ed, Early Childhood, and Reading Classroom
Track (on campus), and you're staying with the existing program
planning sheet, then read on. Basically, you have two choices.
You may continue taking courses within a defined concentration
area, or you can convert this area into electives. You may
also mix-and-match, by choosing courses within and across concentration
areas.
