The Master of Arts in Urban/Diversity Education, designed for full-time professionals, is a portfolio-structured, cohort-supported degree that prepares teachers to work in diverse settings. Cutting edge best practices in teaching and learning draw on the classroom teacher’s experiences and value the expertise that comes only through field experience. In order to fit teachers’ schedules, courses are offered in short formats, on the weekends, during the summer, and on selected evenings. Authentic assignments, discussions and activities are situated in the teacher’s classroom, school, and community.
NOTE: This program does not grant a teaching certificate.
