The Graduate Program is committed to the development of educators that will become leaders in the field of education that will play a pro-active role in the revitalization of our nation's schools.  An active interest and concern for educational practice has been the hallmark of the Graduate Program since its creation in 1987.  The Program has often taken a pioneering role in the formulation of new visions and conceptualization of our academic offerings.

The curriculum has a programmatic approach, characterized by course integration, professional development topics and common group experiences.  The specialized courses in each major have been designed not only to comply with certification and accreditation requirements but also to provide the students with a solid academic background based on recent research and trends in education.  

Faculty work together in presenting an integrated curriculum, involving students through research, case analysis, group projects, integrative experiences and cooperative learning.  Learning is an interactive process, thus integration, student participation and teamwork will consistently be reflected in all courses.

The Graduate Program’s academic offerings include a Master in Education degree with the following specializations: Leadership and Educational Management, Teaching English as a Second Language, Bilingual Education, Curriculum and Teaching, Administration of School Libraries, Guidance and Counseling and Primary School (K-3) Teaching.  It also offers two Advanced Certificates: Information Literacy and Reading.
