• Education and Teaching

  Calvin’s master of education program provides professional development for teachers, principals, and others interested in P-12 education. The program provides plenty of options to take courses that fit into your busy life—all at a cost per semester hour that is one of the lowest in the region. You can choose between four concentrations and two modalities. Choose a fully online program (literacy specialist or inclusion specialist) or hybrid learning (educational leadership or curriculum and instruction). A completed bachelor’s degree is required for admission.

  Calvin also offers a Master of Arts in Teaching, a year-long intensive program for those with a bachelor's degree who have decided to become teachers. Cohorts start at the beginning of the summer with full-time coursework, and students complete an internship in the fall and student teaching in the spring. By the end of the year, students have obtained a master's degree and a teaching certificate. Application coming soon.
