The Blended/Online Master’s in Reading offers the best of both worlds. A blended environment means coming to class only three Saturdays per semester while continuing your learning online during the rest of the time. The program is completed in approximately two and a half years (seven semesters). Students participate in a cohort and will be in class with the same students for most of the program. A new cohort begins each Fall semester.

In addition to the required Reading courses, students select two classes for a focus area and also take one children's literature course.  The children's literature course will be 100% online. The two focus area classes may be online or blended if the student selects a program that offers distance education courses.

The following chart outlines the course sequence for the Blended Master’s. Students decide when they take the Children’s Literature and Focus Area courses. This decision is made in consultation with the advisor.
