The Certificate of Advanced Study (C.A.S.) in reading education is designed for students wishing to continue their education at the post-master's level. Participants will develop the advanced knowledge and leadership skills necessary for meeting the challenges of redesigning and restructuring education across the P-16 continuum. The 30 credit hour certificate is an outcome-based program that meets the standards outlined by the International Reading Association (IRA).
