Master of Education - International Educational Leadership
To graduate with a Master of Education (M.Ed.) in International Education Leadership, students will need to meet a world language requirement. The world language requirement is met when a student's undergraduate degree transcript indicates the completion of one world language semester courses (equivalent to a 3-credit semester course at UM). The requirement may be met after admission by earning a passing grade in one three-credit college-level world language course at UM, by earning transferable credits in a world language course at another institution, or by demonstrating proficiency. For citizens of non-English speaking countries, this requirement can be fulfilled by meeting their English language proficiency admission requirement.
