Abbreviate a Master of Education as M.Ed., the most popular abbreviation for this degree. However, sometimes the degree may be abbreviated as Ed.M.
Capitalize the first letter of Master, "M," place a period, no space, then capitalize the "A" for Arts. The M.A. may be awarded in education without the academic discipline mentioned. Other, seldom-used Master of Arts in Education designations include M.A.Ed. and M.A.E. Also, future instructors can receive a Master of Science of Education. Abbreviate Master of Science of Education as M.S.Ed. because the school awarding the degree considers the teacher a scientist rather than an artist.
Capitalize the "M" for Master in all of the following specialty degrees. The M.A.T., a Master in Teaching, stands equivalent to a Master in Education. A related diploma, a degree in Educational Technology, becomes M.E.T. Abbreviate a Master of Music Education degree as M.M.Ed. whereas a Master of Education of the Deaf becomes M.E.D. Finally, designate a Master of Arts in Christian Education by M.A.C.E.
