Getting a Master of Education Degree from C-SC is perfect for the working teacher. The online format is very user-friendly, and students get to work at their own pace. With each class being online, you never have to travel to campus. The professors are very knowledgeable, helpful and quick to return answers to students. I have been able to apply what I am learning directly into my classroom as well as share my new knowledge with my fellow teachers.
