Master's Programs

At Azrieli, we have designed our Master of Science degree requirements to be theoretical and practical, innovative and time tested, research-based and hands-on. In addition to foundational and advanced coursework, students must engage in substantive field work that complements their studies.

Students will complete the following to graduate:

All 7 required core curricular courses
Three (3) elective courses
Two (2) semesters of student teaching in conjunction with the two semesters of Professional Enhancement Practicum or Curriculum Internship classes
The portfolio - described below

Please note that students must complete a total of twelve (12) courses, one year (2 semesters) of student teaching, and their portfolio. The total number credits that a student must obtain before they may graduate is 36.

Portfolio Requirement

Students are required to complete a portfolio demonstrating many aspects of their education at Azrieli. Full information on this issue will be introduced to the students via workshop with the director of the Masters' program at the start of the semester. The portfolio should be completed during a student's final semester at Azrieli.

Student Handbook

The Master of Science Student Handbook (which can be found above) contains vital information for our students, including policies and procedures pertaining to academic requirements, the classroom, grading, attendance, the number of credits required for graduation, course information and much more. The handbook is a "living document" in that changes to it are anticipated as new policies and procedures are developed. It is therefore imperative that you reference the handbook as often as possible.
