School of Education
We believe that all students have a right to top-quality education, so we give you the foundation and one-on-one attention to ensure you can, in turn, do the same for other students. Our degree and certification programs meet all necessary criteria to teach or counsel students or to lead school communities. Our small class size and individualized mentoring enable you to develop skills and tailor them to the career of your choice.
