UWP Adult MSE Degree Program

Flexible format and scheduling
- Courses in the off-campus MSE program are offered Friday nights and Saturdays to accommodate the schedules of working adults, allowing you to work full time and earn your master’s degree.
Rotation of classes in a two-year cycle
- Students may begin in spring, summer, or fall semester, so you can enter the program when you are ready to start – and continue through the cycle of classes until you complete the degree requirements
Locations near you
- Earn your MSE degree without traveling long distances, taking leave, or relocating. Classes are delivered either face-to-face or through distance technology to technical college or high school locations (currently Janesville, Milwaukee, Madison, Racine, and Platteville).

The learning needs of adults are unique due to career demands, family commitments, and life experiences which affect how they learn. The MSE degree program, Adult Education Emphasis, provides advanced study to develop and enhance skills in designing, delivering, and assessing educational programs for adults.

The Adult Education MSE program is offered face-to-face in Milwaukee, Madison, Racine, Janesville, and Platteville using interactive TV. Students may pursue a concentration in human services or vocational technical education (see below).

Graduates recognize the unique characteristics of adult learners and clients.
Graduates design and implement programs appropriate for adults.
Graduates evaluate the economic, social, and political characteristics of the communities and schools in which they work.
Graduates critically examine significant theories and philosophical orientations relevant to their intended work settings.
Graduates evaluate research literature in their areas of interest.
Graduates design and conduct independent research projects.

The MSE in Adult Education with Human Services Concentration focuses on the behavioral sciences and mental health theory, through selected courses in psychology, counselor education, criminal justice, communication, business administration, and related disciplines. The concentration is designed to meet the educational needs of bachelor-level human services professionals who need to earn a master's degree to meet career goals and certification requirements. Combining adult education and mental health theory courses in the MSE program adds a theoretical framework to the knowledge and skills base of human services practitioners.

The MSE in Adult Education with Vocational/Technical Concentration includes education courses meeting certification requirements for technical college faculty. Students in the program may also choose to enroll in graduate courses in their particular field of study or discipline to meet the concentration requirement, if that will be more relevant.

The MSE in Adult Education with Cultural Arts Management Concentration is an on-campus face to face program administered by the Office of Continuing Education. It provides courses to help arts educators, arts entrepreneurs, and arts administrators meet their professional goals.
