SOE - Professional Studies in Education Graduate Programs

The Institute for Professional Studies in Education (IPSE) offers a variety of Master of Science in Education (MSED) degrees and Wisconsin teacher and administrative license programs. Our programs serve a broad range of education professionals — from practicing classroom teachers to those who work in other educational roles outside the traditional classroom. Through these programs, IPSE prepares educators to lead with empathy, purpose, and lasting impact. Grounded in constructivism, experiential learning, and authentic relationship-building, our graduate programs develop the pedagogical knowledge, cultural understanding, and practical skills needed to create inclusive classrooms where every student can thrive. We believe great teachers are more than instructors — they are servant leaders who advocate for others, inspire their communities, and model lifelong learning through continuous reflection and growth. By fostering a dynamic, collaborative community of dedicated professionals, we equip candidates to transform not just their classrooms, but the broader schools, districts, and communities they serve — shaping a future where every child is affirmed in who they are and inspired by what they can become.
