Yes, the USA offers the MEd (Master of Education) degree, not just the MSc in Education.

- MEd programs are practice-oriented, focusing on teaching, curriculum design, and educational leadership.
- MSc in Education is typically more research- or theory-based.

You can choose either option in the USA, depending on whether you prefer a practical or research focus.
