Offered both in-person and online, the Ed.S. program is designed for students who want to work in schools after graduation. This degree also meets the GaPSC requirements for a certification upgrade for public school teachers. The program requires 31 credit hours of coursework beyond the Master’s degree, plus a 3-credit hour Applied Project, for a total of 34 credit hours. This program is based on the philosophy that giftedness and creativity are expressed in diverse ways among diverse people; that creativity is a universal potential to be nurtured and enhanced; and that the best education is tailored to students’ specific needs and interests for talent development. This philosophy will be expressed through a focus on instruction, research, and service. https://coe.uga.edu/academics/degrees/eds-educational-psychology-gifted-creative-education/
