\n<\/div>

State-funded colleges are awarding lots of degrees in business<\/a> and medicine<\/a> and certificates<\/a> in family and consumer sciences.<\/p>

Oklahoma universities are training a lot of teachers, too.<\/p>

<\/p>

More than one-quarter of all master\u2019s degrees granted in 2008-2009 were in education, the most recent data available show.<\/p>

The No. 2 most-common master\u2019s degree awarded that year was in business and management, data from the state Regents for Higher Education show.<\/p>

Most Masters of Education are being trained at smaller state schools. The University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond awarded the most in 2008-2009, followed by East Central University in Ada.<\/p>

Our series continues tomorrow with a look at doctoral degrees.<\/p>\n
