ETAMU CBE Master Degrees

[SpartacusPM]

I know there was mention on the forum of free graduate level courses at the end of 2024/ start of 2025 for ETAMU as a pilot program of sorts. While they are still waiting for approval here are the focuses for these Masters programs. No announced start date, although the original plan was for Fall of 2025.

MS in Organizational Leadership with an Emphasis in Corporate Training and Development
MS in Public Safety with an Emphasis in Disaster Preparedness
MeD in Instructional Design with an Emphasis in Artificial Intelligence.

I am assuming these will be voted on at the May 28-30 meeting of the TAMU system regents-

If you look at the minutes from previous meetings you will see approvals for multiple new programs.  I don't know how that sort of timeline fits with SACS however.

Dear Students,


We are reaching out to all of you who participated in our preview Competency-Based Education (CBE) graduate courses during the Spring 1 term.
 
First, thank you for your participation and enthusiasm for these innovative programs. Your engagement has been invaluable as we move forward with our three new programs:

• M.S. in Public Safety
  
• M.S. in Organizational Leadership
  
• M.Ed. in Instructional Design
  

 
We are writing to provide you with an update on the status of these programs. Currently, we are awaiting final approvals to officially launch the full programs. Once these approvals are secured, we will open the program application process.
 
Our intended launch date for these programs is the Fall 1 term, though the exact timing will depend on when we receive the final approvals. We will keep you updated on our progress and reach out again as soon as the approvals are finalized and the program applications become available.  In the meantime, if you have other questions about starting a graduate program at East Texas A&M University, please feel free to contact the Graduate School directly.
 
Thank you for your patience and continued interest in our CBE graduate programs. We look forward to potentially welcoming you as graduate students in the near future.

Hmm, great stuff for those in Texas, and for those looking for alternative CBE options at the masters level, similar to UMPI or WGU...
