The Education Department congratulates Melissa Lehman, class of 2005
Learn more about our:
Master of Arts in Teaching Program
Guided by faculty and cooperating education professionals who provide individualized advising, mentorship, and assessment, our students learn to become confident in their classrooms, responsive to their students, deeply knowledgeable about subject matter, and committed to their own growth as lifelong learners.
The Department of Education is authorized by the State of Illinois to prepare students for certification in elementary school (grades K-9) and secondary school (grades 6-12), with certification at the secondary level in mathematics, English, history, chemistry and biology and in K-12 programs in Visual Art, Spanish, and French.These programs are offered at the BA and MAT levels.
Our majors have many opportunities to work with students from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, including interning at a local high-needs school district. Student teaching placements are generally made in local suburban school districts. For students with an interest in urban education, the ACM Urban Education Program offers the opportunity to complete student teaching in the Chicago Public Schools. For students with an international focus, the Global Student Teaching program offers the chance to student teach abroad.
