Great educators have the ability — and the privilege — to change lives. At Quinnipiac, our mission is to prepare our candidates for 21st-century careers in education as teachers, leaders and designers of learning environments and materials. By fostering personal and intellectual transformation, we strive to empower our graduates to affect change within themselves and others to move toward a more just and equitable society.
U.S. News & World Report recognizes our online programs among the top online graduate education programs in the country.
Our undergraduate, graduate and certificate programs fully immerse you in the art and science of teaching and learning. Depending on your personal goals, you’ll learn how to communicate effectively, structure engaging lessons and learning resources, manage a classroom or school and leverage educational technology. Most importantly, you’ll develop the skills to ensure that learners of all levels and cultural backgrounds have every opportunity to succeed.
Our approach integrates modern theories of teaching and learning with the practical application of those theories. Classes are taught by a close and supportive community of accomplished faculty with deep educational and industry experience. Small class sizes afford the opportunity for personal guidance and feedback for each student. Prospective classroom teachers will complete extensive fieldwork, which will give you both hands-on experience and the benefit of reduced tuition.
Whether you aspire to become a new teacher, to build on years of experience in education, to move into administration or to develop skills in the design of digital learning materials — we have programs for every career stage. Graduates of our programs are hired quickly and go on to lead rewarding careers.
