UNDERGRADUATE MINOR in EDUCATION
Undergraduates may begin the minor in their sophomore or junior year. The minor does not lead to teacher licensure but qualified candidates may continue into the M.Ed. program.

ADVANCING YOUR TEACHING SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE
We offer advanced M.Ed. and CAGS programs for Massachusetts teachers. These degrees are approved for Teacher of Reading licensure or School Principal licensure in Massachusetts and are a blend of online and on-campus course work.
Contact Vera Ossen for information.
For out-of-state candidates we offer online advanced M.Ed. degrees and a CAGS degree that do not lead to licensure, but will further your own professional development.

GRADUATE CERTIFICATES
Graduate Certificates are a great way to continue your graduate study as they do not require an extensive application. Our two certificates are designed for those teachers who already hold an initial license and are seeking to apply to the Massachusetts DESE for a license as a Teacher of English Language Learners or Teacher of Children with Moderate Disabilities.
