Reading Science

The Ed.D. in Reading Science aims to prepare the next generation of education professors and literacy leaders to utilize and teach others practices that have been identified most advantageous through scientifically-based reading research. All accepted students receive a scholarship that covers 80% of their tuition.

Designed for the working professional, the Mount’s Ed.D. in Reading Science is available fully online during the academic year with a summer institute on campus.

• Fall and Spring – 2 courses each semester, one at a time
• Summer – 3 courses with a Summer Institute on campus
• Three year program if all prerequisites are completed.

The Master of Arts degree with a major in Education and a concentration in reading science prepares educators with the knowledge and skills to implement evidence-based reading instruction and/or intervention. The Reading Science Certificate and the Ohio Reading Endorsement coursework are built into the program and it is easy to also add the Dyslexia Certificate (one additional course required).

Designed for the working professional, the Mount’s Reading Science programs are convenient to an educators’s schedule and available fully online.
