MS Gifted and Talented Educational Psychology

Young students require differentiated instruction to develop and reach their full potential. The Master of Science in Educational Psychology with a Concentration in Gifted and Talented Education helps prepare educators, administrators and others to identify the needs of gifted and talented students.

The "Executive Summer-to-Summer" program consists of 33 hours, all of which are available online. Courses begin in May and include rotations of consecutive 3-week, 5-week, and 8-week courses.

The flexibility of this program makes it ideal for the classroom teacher. The gifted and talented certificate may be earned concurrently with the master's degree in Educational Psychology or as a certificate-only option if you already have a master's degree.

This degree prepares you to sit for the Texas Examination of Educator Standards Gifted and Talented Supplemental Certificate. You'll also be prepared for doctoral coursework in this area, should you decide to continue your education.
