Graduate Degrees
Part of becoming a teacher is a commitment to continual learning, both informally and formally.
When you’re ready for that next step, you’ll find plenty of options at UNI. Some degrees are part of the Educator Preparation Program and require licensure. Others are a natural next step to meet your career goals and add to your skills and knowledge.
Many of the master’s programs have, collectively, been recognized by "U.S. News & World Report" as some of the best graduate education programs in the nation. A majority of these are primarily online programs which not only offer flexibility and convenience, but also received "U.S. News & World Report" recognition for online programming.
