Julie Maresca ’00, sixth-grade language arts teacher and head of the language arts department, Thomas Edison Magnet Middle School, Meriden, Conn.: “I am who I am as a teacher because of the people at Quinnipiac who helped me discover and support my teaching philosophy. The mix of formal instruction and real classroom experience during my two years was just enough to set me up for success in my own classroom.”
The Division of Education offers challenging courses averaging 15 students each, taught by a diverse, accomplished faculty committed to social justice. All programs combine challenging course work with supervised fieldwork and internship experiences.
The Division of Education, part of Quinnipiac’s College of Liberal Arts, offers two master of arts in teaching degrees and a sixth-year diploma in educational leadership.
Undergraduate students enroll in a five-year program to earn a bachelor’s degree in one of the many majors Quinnipiac offers and a master of arts in teaching. Graduate students who already have a bachelor’s degree enroll in a full-time, five-semester program. The sixth-year diploma program is open to certified teachers who possess a master's degree, have a minimum of four years of K-12 educational experience and meet other admission standards.
