M.Ed. Hybrid Model (Fall and Spring Courses)
All fall and spring courses follow a hybrid format that combines structured face-to-face sessions with consistent online coursework. This model requires no prerequisites and is designed for maximum flexibility.
Saturday Sessions (3–4 per term):
- Each Saturday session runs 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with a lunch break from 12:00–1:00 p.m.
- Sessions are co-taught by two instructors who alternate morning and afternoon blocks
- Saturday sessions are used for workshops, collaborative discussion, and presenting longer-term projects
Weekly Asynchronous Work:
- Students complete weekly deliverables through 12 structured lessons available through Centenary's learning management system
- Asynchronous work is designed to be completed on the student's own schedule throughout the week
- Longer projects and deliverables begun asynchronously are brought to Saturday sessions for workshop and discussion
M.Ed. Summer Courses
Asynchronous - Foundations of Educational Administration and Educational Law are offered fully asynchronously through a partnership with Central Methodist University. These courses allow students to fulfill key program requirements during the summer on a fully flexible schedule.
Synchronous (On-campus) - Curriculum I and Curriculum II are taught by Centenary faculty in a face-to-face format during the traditional summer terms on the Centenary campus.
Where Classes Are Held
All coursework and instruction takes place on the Centenary College campus in Shreveport, Louisiana, or through Centenary's existing learning management systems. The program does not require students to travel to any off-campus sites.
