Department of Learning and Teaching

Expand your impact as an educator—from the classroom to the community.

Here, becoming an educator means more than it does in the traditional sense. Those who earn a graduate degree in education are equipped to be catalysts for change in their communities and beyond. You will be the first teacher candidates in the United States to graduate from a Changemaker teacher preparation program. Our graduates are well prepared for a lifelong teaching career with an emphasis on the many social-justice issues that come with teaching diverse populations.

You'll master the academic foundation and theory behind teaching and learning—and, through hands-on experience in our community's schools, you'll study inclusivity, personalized learning, and leadership development. You'll develop strategies for differentiated learning as you work with students in local underserved populations and embark on an international experience that enriches your cross-cultural understanding. Along the way, an academic cohort environment helps our students learn from each other and build lasting relationships.

Our graduates emerge ready for employment—and are highly sought after by employers. Most graduates receive multiple job offers, providing a way to start making a difference immediately.
