Experienced Educator students may elect the Critical Skills concentration during the first year of their program. Critical Skills students must take 4 Critical Skills elective courses, Critical Skills Level 1 Institute, 1 semester of Critical Skills Practicum, and have a Critical Skills focus to their Master’s Project.
