Course of Study The Master of Education degree (M.Ed.) consists of 36 graduate credits plus a comprehensive oral examination. The coursework is divided into two parts. The Montessori Content courses total 27 credit hours and comprise the requirements for the AMI diploma. These courses are taken at the affiliate AMI institute. Although the Montessori Content courses are listed as discrete courses for purposes of registration, the actual instruction is presented as an integrated, interdisciplinary program of child development, methodology, practice, observation, and practice teaching. The Education Core courses total 9 credit hours and are taken in residence at the main campus of Loyola College in Baltimore, Maryland. These courses are designed to broaden the student’s knowledge of research and trends in the field of education. For the convenience of students, the Education Core courses are offered during a special intensive summer session scheduled mid-June through mid-July. Students must also complete an independent study and submit a research paper as part of ED625-Advanced Studies in Education. The Certificate of Advanced Study in Education (CASE) consists of 30 graduate credits beyond the Masters of Education. Students take all the Montessori Content courses appropriate to their area of concentration for a total of 27 credits. These courses are taken at the affiliate AMI institute and comprise the requirements for the AMI diploma. One additional course, Advanced Research Project in Montessori Education (ED627), completes the requirements for the CASE. The student designs and implements a research project under the supervision of a faculty advisor. On-campus residency is not required for this course. All requirements that are part of the student’s graduate course of study must be completed within five years from the student’s first semester of enrollment.
