Purpose: The purpose of this program is to provide an opportunity for students to concentrate at the master’s level in one or more of the subject areas related to career and technical education. The goal of the program is to prepare candidates for further graduate study, for public school or college teaching, for CTE administrator certification, as specialists in service agencies, or as professionals in, or consultants to business, industry, and government.
