Welcome to the Albright College Graduate Program in Education

The graduate program in Education leads to a Master of Arts or a Master of Science degree and offers three concentrations:  General Education (which includes Secondary Education content areas), PK-4 Early Childhood Education, and Special Education.  Candidates can also pursue teacher certification in an area completing the master’s degree.  Courses taken for teacher certification are predominantly graduate level and are thus credited to the master’s degree, which makes Albright’s master’s program unique.  It offers a master’s program with teacher certification embedded within it.  At the same time, Albright welcomes candidates who currently work as teachers and are looking to pursue a master’s degree or an additional certificate.
