Master of Arts in Education
The Gratz College’s Master of Arts in Education Program is designed to provide teachers with knowledge and practical skills that they can actually utilize in the classroom. The goal is to enhance classroom instruction and to empower teachers to reach their full potential as educators. All courses, and the program, focus on helping teachers enhance instruction and learning in public and private school classrooms, kindergarten through high school.
The courses are taught using a variety of interactive instructional techniques, including cooperative learning, projects, small group participation, classroom strategies application and lots of discussion. Courses are taught by master classroom teachers with years of experience of working in public elementary, middle school, and secondary settings.
The courses are offered on convenient weekend and week-long intensive time schedules, which research has proven the best for “immersion learning” and transfer of skills training. Tuition is reasonable for a 3-credit graduate course and it includes all fees and materials. Coursework for this 30-credit M.A. in Education Program is offered on-campus and at many off-campus sites in
Pennsylvania and
Maryland. Courses are conducted in the traditional teacher/student classroom setting and are not video, internet, or distance learning courses.
Gratz College is accredited by the Middle States Association. The Master of Arts in Education Program has been approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. The Maryland Higher Education Commission has approved Gratz College to offer courses and the masters degree program in Maryland.
