Arizona State University, founded in 1885, is spread over four campuses around the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, but they are one institution. While the university has typically ranked lower than the top 100 in standard lists (such as US News and World Report), recent advances in quality, such as those experienced by the Carey School of Business, have led to ASU’s reputation as an up-and-coming university.
ASU Online offers an accredited Master of Education Curriculum and Instruction with a concentration in Early Childhood Education. There are three potential program paths: the M.Ed. with Certification takes 46 credit hours; M.Ed. with Endorsement takes 35 credit hours; and the straight M.Ed. takes 30 credit hours.
