The Pennsylvania State University Workforce Education and Development program offers certificate and graduate degree programs leading to master's of education (M.Ed.) and master's of science (M.S.) degrees.
Students interested in these programs should be employed in or aspire to be employed as faculty, trainers, administrators, or researchers in education-for-work settings such as business, industry, health fields, occupational home economics, cooperative education, youth apprenticeship, or employment and training.
Master's of Education (M.ED.)
The M.Ed. candidates must complete six credits taken outside of the Workforce Education and Development program and three credits of WF ED elective. A candidate for the M.Ed. must complete three credits of WF ED 596 and a comprehensive exam.

The M S candidate must complete the three credit WF ED 550 research course. Candidates who choose to complete a formal thesis that will be submitted to the Graduate School must complete six credits of WF ED 600.
