School of Education History
Viterbo University began in 1890 as St. Rose
Normal School, a preparatory school to train Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual
Adoration as elementary school teachers. The accredited school evolved into St.
Rose Junior College, 1932; Viterbo College, 1939; and Viterbo University, 2001.
The university takes its name from Viterbo, Italy, home to the
thirteenth-century Franciscan, Saint Rose of Viterbo, the patroness of the
Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration (FSPA).
Today, Viterbo University programs are
accredited by the American Chemical Society, the Commission on Accreditation
for Dietetics Education, the National Association of Schools of Music, the
National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, the Commission on
Collegiate Nursing Education, the Council on Social Work Education, the Higher
Learning Commission, North Central Association, the Association of Collegiate
Business Schools and Programs, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction
and the Wisconsin State Board of Nursing.
The university is also approved by the
Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction for the certification of teachers in
the elementary and secondary schools, and graduate-level licensures in
Principal (51), Early Childhood Education (70-777), Director of Instruction
(10), Director of Special Education and Pupil Services (80), School Business
Administrator (08), ), Superintendent (03), Reading Teacher (316), Reading Specialist (17), Cross-categorical
Special Education (801) Learning Disabilities (811) and Cognitive Disabilities
(810) MC-EA (72) or EA-A (73).
Viterbo University is approved by the Iowa
State Board of Education for the K-12 Principal licensure (189) and is recognized
by the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners to offer the following endorsements:
Early Childhood (106), Middle School (182, Reading Teacher (148, 149) and the
Reading Specialist (176), and Talented and Gifted (107).
The Viterbo University Graduate Programs in
Education has adopted a Teacher as Reflective Decision Maker Model and the
Standards for Teacher Development and Licensure. Each course is designed to
contribute to the development of one or more of the Iowa Standards and if
applicable, IRA and/or ISLLC Standards.
Franciscan values permeate the program. The
focus of every professional education course is on the learning of the PK-12
pupil. Viterbo education courses infuse constructivist practices, use of
technology, PK-12 collaboration, awareness of diversity, traditional and
authentic assessment, research, and real-world experiences into the
professional development of the teacher.
Graduate Programs in Education courses
address your professional state standards. These standards, as applied to
teachers taking graduate level courses, are intended to provide the extension,
expansion, and deepening of the knowledge and experiential bases developed in
initial teacher preparation programs.
Conceptual Framework
The Viterbo
University graduate programs in education program has adopted a “Teacher as
Reflective Decision Maker” model and the Wisconsin Standards for Teacher
Development and Licensure. Each course is designed to contribute to the
development of the Wisconsin Teaching Standards and if applicable, NAEYC, IRA,
and/or ISLLC standards. Franciscan values permeate the program. The focus of
every professional education course is on the learning of the Pre-K–12 pupil.
Viterbo University education courses infuse constructivist practices, use of
technology, Pre-K–12 collaboration, awareness of diversity, traditional and
authentic assessment, research, and real world experiences into the
professional development of the teacher.
Philosophy of the Viterbo Program
Classroom teachers
provide one of our society’s most vital services. They touch and influence the
future of America. A teacher’s values, compassion, skills, knowledge, and
competencies have a profound impact on the teaching and learning process.
The Master of
Arts in Education degree at Viterbo University provides professional educators
with a meaningful and exciting avenue for personal growth and development. It
is designed to provide skills in reading, evaluating, and conducting action
research in educational settings. Action research can lead to improved methods,
sound evaluation, and new opportunities to learn, develop, hone, and practice
skills that can be applied directly in the classroom. Viterbo University’s
program, however, looks beyond professional knowledge. Viterbo University
faculty believe that personal growth and development, the questioning of
values, and an appreciation for the mission of the teacher are also important
elements of a teaching profession. Pride in and an appreciation for the
importance of teaching are keystones in the Viterbo University philosophy and
mission.
The graduate
program is designed to be responsive to the staff development needs of
educators in the field. This sensitivity to current educational practice allows
the Viterbo University graduate program to bring current research, knowledge,
and best practices to improve effectiveness in schools.
Courses are
offered in convenient formats to meet the needs of practicing educators.
Viterbo University attempts to bring classes to communities in time frames that
meet the demands of busy schedules. Even more than convenience, however,
Viterbo University values its students as colleagues and treats them
accordingly.
The master’s
degree includes coursework in program core areas. The first course, EDUC 601,
is generally taken one summer before graduation and after receiving
notification from the Office of Graduate Programs in Education that all
admission requirements have been met. At the conclusion of the graduate
program, students will participate in a one-week experience (EDUC 604,
Proseminar) prior to graduation.
Other graduate
courses, including the remaining core courses, are provided off campus. Off
-campus courses use convenient, compressed time frames for instructional
delivery. During the academic year, courses are offered on three
non-consecutive weekends. During the summer months, courses are often offered
in intensive one-week formats. Students are assigned projects which expand,
apply, or require reactions to material presented during the course. These
assignments are due two weeks after the course is completed.
Accreditation
Viterbo
University undergraduate and graduate programs in education are accredited by
the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE); 2010
Massachusetts Ave. NW, Suite 500; Washington, DC 20036; 202-466-7496; www.ncate.org.
The education
program is approved by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction for the
certification of teachers in the elementary and secondary schools and for the
training of veterans. The Iowa Educational Leadership Program is approved by
the Iowa State Board of Education and other endorsement programs are recognized
by the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners.

to Viterbo University. Admission information and forms are available online at www.viterbo.edu/mae.aspx?id=1022.
Admission
Criteria
Graduate
admission for programs in education is determined by reviewing official
transcripts and written application materials.
1. Undergraduate
grade point average (GPA)
A minimum cumulative undergraduate GPA of 2.75 or at
least a 3.0 cumulative GPA for 12 graduate credits from an accredited
institution in order to be admitted in good standing.
2. Written
narrative application which includes the following items:
- reflective essay or article reaction
paper, depending upon program request
- professional development plan
- demonstration of teaching standards
Full admission is
granted if the GPA meets the minimum requirements.
Probationary
admission may be granted if there is a probationary GPA and/or the overall
score for written application materials is zero (0). Removal from probationary
status will be granted if the student successfully completes six credits of
graduate work from Viterbo University with a GPA of 3.0 or higher. The six
probationary status credits must be taken after the student has been officially
granted probationary admission.
Policies
Students register
for graduate courses by calling 1-888-484-0011 or calling the Wisconsin/Iowa
program coordinator for online courses. The Iowa and Wisconsin phone numbers
and addresses are below:
- Viterbo University campus; 900
Viterbo Drive, La Crosse, WI 54601; 888-484-0111 (registration voice);
608-796-3050 (registration fax)
- Wisconsin Program Coordinator;
Viterbo University; 2323 S. 109th St., Suite 375; West Allis, WI 53227;
414-321-4210 or 1-800-234-8721; 414-321-9113 (fax)
- Iowa Program Coordinator; Viterbo University;
4949 Westown Parkway, Suite 195; West Des Moines, IA 50266; 515-224-5944 or
888-235-2200; 515-224-4862 (fax)
Admission to the
master’s degree program does not assure acceptance to candidacy for the degree.
To be eligible for degree candidacy the applicant must have been successfully
admitted into the program and successfully completed the following
requirements:
- core coursework (EDUC 600, 601, 602,
603 or 623, 604)
- written comprehensive exam taken
online
- at least 15 elective graduate
credits
Students must
have a minimum 24 graduate credits completed in order to attend
Proseminar (EDUC 604). This allows the student to present his/her research and
participate in commencement with the understanding that the remaining credits
will be completed after Proseminar.
Degrees are
conferred in August as Proseminar is a summer course. If the student completes
credits required for the degree after the summer session, the degree will be
conferred as of the term of the completion of the credits.
Class attendance is
crucial. When it comes to absenteeism, the program allows little or no
flexibility on this issue. Instructional practices and methodologies include
considerable class interaction and collaboration as well as core content instruction. Due to the course
format, it is almost impossible to replicate learning opportunities.
Consequently, it is the philosophy of the program that students should not be
absent. We realize that emergencies do occur. Instructors will consider the
emergency on a case-by-case basis and
determine if options are available.
The written
comprehensive examination is taken after the student has completed EDUC 600,
601, 602, and 603 or 623. This is usually done during the year prior to
enrollment in Proseminar (EDUC 604). The written comprehensive examination
provides the candidate with an opportunity to process and articulate the
experiences and knowledge gained during the course of study. A candidate could
earn a pass, rewrite, or fail status on any part of the comprehensive
examination. In the case of a rewrite, the student will be allowed an
opportunity to retake the failed section(s). In the case of a failed question,
the student will be given an additional question for each failed answer.
Examination dates are announced each year by the Office of Graduate Programs in
Education and are available on our website: www.viterbo.edu/mae.
A student must
have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 to earn the Master of Arts in
Education degree, and a grade of C or higher earned in all Viterbo University
coursework.
All requirements
for the master’s degree must be completed within seven years from the date of
application to the graduate program. Coursework must have been taken within the
last 10 years to be applied to degree requirements.
Transfer Credit
A student may
request to transfer up to nine semester credit hours which will be applied to the
M.A.Ed. degree program. Transfer credits must be graduate credits taken from a
regionally accredited institution of higher education, completed within seven
years of application, taken after completion of an undergraduate degree
program, and a grade of B or higher earned. Credits from other institutions
taken prior to admission to the graduate program will be reviewed for transfer
into the masters degree. The director of graduate programs in education will
also review transfer requests made by students already accepted into the
program who wish to take credits from other institutions. Students who wish to
transfer credits to the Viterbo Master of Arts in Education program must have
the appropriate official graduate transcripts sent directly to the director of
graduate programs in education. Upon completing the review of the
education-related courses, the student will be sent a transfer verification
letter from the registrar’s office listing which, if any, courses will be
allowed to transfer to the Viterbo University Master of Arts in Education
program. Final decisions on course transfer requests are made at the discretion
of the director of graduate programs in education.
