Program Description:

The School of Education offers a full-time program for students to earn a master of arts in teaching elementary education or secondary education. 

Quinnipiac University's master of arts in teaching program prepares graduates with perspectives, knowledge and skills to become master educators. The School of Education recognizes that the concept of educator is three-dimensional, and that successful educators must be teachers, learners and leaders. Therefore, graduates of the master of arts in teaching program are teachers who lead all students to learn, learners who continue to learn as they continue to teach, and leaders who influence the culture of their schools in ways that support best practices in teaching and learning.
