The University of South Carolina Beaufort has launched a new graduate program in Literacy, designed for current S.C. teachers.
Beginning Summer 2021, USCB’s Education Department will prepare teachers to improve reading achievement in K-12 classrooms in the South Carolina Lowcountry and beyond.
USCB’s new program provides a combination of on-campus, online, and field-based coursework. It is designed for those seeking a master’s degree in literacy and those who need master’s level courses for the “SC Read to Succeed Endorsement.”
There are three ways to participate:
– The M.Ed. in Literacy is a 36-credit hour degree program, leading to add-on certification as a Literacy Teacher and Literacy Coach.
– The Graduate Certificate is a 12-credit hour series of four courses, leading to an “SC Read to Succeed Endorsement.”
– One course at a time for professional development on an as-needed/as-interested basis.
