The Specialist in Education in Reading program is designed for students who have a master's degree in reading and wish to
extend and enrich their reading education. A minimum of 33 semester hours of post-master's graduate work is required. Completion
of the master's degree is a prerequisite to admission into the specialist degree program. The specific goal of the program
is to prepare teachers to play such leadership roles as reading coordinator, reading clinician, and developmental reading
teacher at the college, junior college, or technical college level.
