We provide students with the skills needed to teach special education, as well as elementary, middle, and high school students in several different subject areas, depending upon the licensure program they choose. Students will gain experience working in the classroom in our partner schools located throughout the city of Springfield and the surrounding area.

Our students are highly sought after upon graduation. They teach in public and private schools, and at the elementary and secondary levels throughout the world.

To comply with Massachusetts Department of regulations, students seeking teacher licensure must earn a bachelor?s degree that includes an arts and sciences major, additional coursework to meet the subject matter knowledge requirements, and coursework to meet the professional standards for all teachers. Students completing any of the programs listed above also complete the requirements of the education major.
