.: GCIS Web Site : SLU MA in Education

Saint Louis University is classified as a Doctoral/Research University-Extensive institution by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and is fully accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The Department of Educational Studies is fully accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), North Central Association of College and Secondary Schools and by the Department of elementary and Secondary Education of the State of Missouri (DESE).

Regular Saint Louis University Professors will offer the tutorials for each module. The long distance Master's degree programs proposed for Cypriot students are the same in the mission, student requirements, content, courses, faculty, and rigor as the Master's degree programs offered at the Saint Louis University campus in Saint Louis, Missouri. Although there are five areas of Master's degree programs offered at the home site, the degrees offered to Cypriot students will be limited to two of the five areas: MA in Curriculum and Instruction and MA in Special Education.

The tutorial support for each subject will be delivered in an identical manner to the same subject delivered on the University premises by the same regular Saint Louis professors under the long distance education. Students will use textbooks and other reading materials required by each faculty member, as do students at the main campus. Library resources will be available to Cypriot students in the form of on-line journals and databases. The tutorial support will mainly be electronic communication (Blackboard web based system) between professors and students supplemented by tutorial support offered in Cyprus.

Additionally, the program is offered in accordance with the Republic of Cyprus laws for independent studies and external examinations, as a long distance program with tutorial support in Cyprus.
