The Burton College of Education with the Dore' School of Graduate Studies offers several programs for initial teacher certification and for advanced study in education through the Department of Education Professions. These programs are coordinated through the Office of Graduate Education Programs. Through relevant and rigorous curricula and field experiences, each program prepares candidates for professional roles in P-12 education. Each program's scope is pragmatic and specialized, blending theoretical content with practical application in curriculum, instruction, teaching, technology, counseling, and leadership in regular and special education settings.

We look forward to working with you to meet your career goals. Please contact us to discuss the opportunities that await you.
