EKU's College of Education is providing a tuition break next semester to those students taking their first course in any one of the College's graduate degree programs.

One tuition-free course (a $459 value) will be provided to the first 60 new applicants admitted to any College of Education graduate degree program in the Spring 2002 semester. The offer applies to graduate courses taught on campus, at any EKU extended campus center, other off-campus sites, via interactive television or on-line.

Dr. Larry Sexton, associate dean of the College, said the offer targets "those individuals who wouldn't otherwise be here but who want to begin work toward a graduate degree.

It may be first- or second-year teachers, young professionals out in industry or government who want to advance in their careers, someone who can't find the job they want or those who want a second master's degree."

The tuition waiver does not apply to certificate programs. College of Education graduate programs include communications disorders, elementary education, middle grade education, school counseling, instructional leadership, human services, library science (K-12), mental health counseling, secondary education (in a wide variety of subject areas) and special education, with options in interdisciplinary early childhood, deaf and hard of hearing, learning and behavior disorders and moderate and severe disabilities.
