The MA in Reading Education degree, Reading Certificate, and Reading Specialist Credential programs are designed to provide increased knowledge and skill for those who are or wish to become reading/language arts specialists in public or private schools, clinics, and at community colleges. The program is also ideal for elementary and secondary teachers who plan to remain in the classroom but who wish to deepen their theoretical and practical understandings about the teaching of reading and the language arts. Candidates are prepared to teach, tutor, develop curriculum, offer in-service instruction and administer reading centers for students ranging from preK through community college. The MA in Reading Education degree is often earned concurrently with a California Reading Specialist Credential. This program is the only one at SDSU that allows students to earn a Reading Certificate or Pre K-12 Reading Specialist Credential from the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing either alone or in combination with the MA in Reading Education. There are four options in San Diego State University's MA in Reading Education programs. This is the ONLY MA degree program at SDSU that allows you to study concurrently for your Reading Certificate and/or Reading Specialist Credential. Each of these programs provides extensive, collaborative, and supervised clinical experiences within the SDSU Literacy Center and real-time experience teaching at-risk students in the community. The option you pursue will depend upon your educational and professional background, as well as your future career plans.
