Forney ISD partners with East Texas A&M University to Offer Affordable Master’s Programs

Forney ISD is proud to announce a new partnership with East Texas A&M University that provides current teachers the opportunity to earn a fully accredited master’s degree for $10,000 or less, making it the most affordable advanced-degree option in the state of Texas.

This initiative reflects Forney ISD’s commitment to investing in educators, expanding professional growth opportunities, and strengthening instructional excellence across the district. Through this partnership, teachers can pursue one of two affordable, high impact graduate pathways:

• Curriculum & Instruction with Dual Credit Credentialing
• Educational Leadership with Principal Certification

The dual credit credentialing track will offer specialized pathways for teachers in the following disciplines including English, Math, Social Studies, and Science. Degrees are available exclusively to Forney ISD educators and are designed to be flexible and aligned with district needs. 

“This partnership reflects our commitment to investing in educators and providing meaningful, affordable pathways for advancement,” said Dr. Justin Terry, Superintendent of Forney ISD. “These options will open doors for our teachers to advance their careers, strengthen their expertise, and bring new opportunities directly into our classrooms.”
