(UOG)  The School of Education launched the University of Guam’s first online program, the Master of Education with Specialization in Reading program, during the 2012 spring semester. Developed for students in Guam and the Micronesian region, the program prepares professionals in the field of reading/literacy who are interested in becoming highly effective teachers and reading specialists.

The program, which was approved in August 2011 by the Senior Commission of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, offers the same rigor and academic quality as a traditional face-to-face degree program, yet offers the convenience of online learning that fits the schedule of a busy professional. The internship/practical component of the program will not be offered online, but will be offered in Guam and other locations in Micronesia.

For information about the program visit www.uog.edu/soe or contact Dr. Catherine Stoicovy, program chair at Stoicovy@guam.net. (UOG)
