Graduate Programs in Education

 
The Mount offers graduate level programs for both current educators and those interested in becoming educators.

Whether you want to advance your current teaching career, or you're thinking about a new career as a teacher, The Mount has a program for you.Our graduate programs in Education have a reputation of educational excellence.

Originally attracting working professionals from the regional area either seeking initial certification to teach or advanced training in specialized fields, the School of Education and Human Services now attracts a rich blend of graduate students that includes recent graduates of undergraduate programs and international students. We limit class sizes and emphasize the importance of close faculty-student relationships.

The unit supports academic excellence through curricula designed to help graduate students to (a) acquire the essential skills of analytical thought and self-expression, (b) gain and integrate knowledge in various disciplines, (c) acquire an understanding of other cultures, (d) develop an awareness of the various facets of moral and ethical problems, (e) achieve a high degree of personal fulfillment, and (f) improve skills in pursuing independent study of educational issues within school communities. Classes are taught at both the Emmitsburg and Frederick campuses.
