Graduate Studies


Graduate studies at Fairmont State are designed to give students advanced knowledge in a special field of study, higher levels of professional competence, an understanding of and respect for scholarly research and a sophisticated knowledge of the techniques of continued, lifelong intellectual growth. These goals are achieved through coherent, orderly programs of study, investigation and professionally mentored practical experiences that are carefully planned by each individual student in consultation with his or her graduate faculty adviser.

Fairmont State currently offers the following graduate degrees:

  • Master of Education (M.Ed.), with concentrations in Digital Media, New Literacies and Learning; Exercise Science, Fitness and Wellness; Professional Studies; Reading; Special Education;
  • Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.);
  • Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.);
  • Master of Science in Criminal Justice (M.S.C.J.);
  • Master of Architecture (M.Arch)

Choosing to pursue a Master’s degree program at Fairmont State represents a commitment to excellence, personal growth, and lifelong learning. Our graduate programs are committed to a student-centered learning environment that emphasizes concrete experiences, intellectual discourse, and critical reflection. Fairmont State is small enough to allow each graduate student opportunities for interaction with fellow students and distinguished faculty members, yet large enough to provide challenging and diverse areas of study. To better serve graduate students, the university schedules classes at times designed to meet the scheduling needs of part-time as well as full-time students.
