Gain a deeper understanding of learning as a developmental process and prepare for leadership positions.

Students in our Master of Education program learn how children (from birth to age eight) grow and develop. They then use that knowledge to create learning environments and experiences that benefit children for life. In our program, you will explore curriculum development, infant-toddler development, program administration, early literacy and early intervention.
